Simple Way to Block AI Search Features for Minimalists
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Search Cleaner needs no setup for this: install it and Google's AI Overview is hidden on google.com search pages. It does have other switches (25 in all, for ads, shopping, videos and so on), but they're off until you want them, and one master switch turns everything off. Nothing else on the web is affected.
