    Its pretty good but the problem is that it disables other google things too (calculator, translator, etc.)

    Just some .json files and some .css. I doubt this meets the criteria for copyright protection. But of course the gnuoids will use GPL on anything.

    Just like other users, I thought of suggesting an easier way to disable, however, that would make it so easy for the lazy user that it's simply not worth it. Although many people said it removed many features when using Google Search Engine due to switching the mode, there's not much to do to stop the server from operating and saving resources. Not only that but I personally didn't notice such a difference. However, I am quite disappointed with the fact it could also offer an option to stop the most known AI domains from appearing when searching, such as Deepseek, ChatGPT, Gemini.. or perhap
    mores even block those! To not fall on this, I use LeechBlock and Brave Search's Priority List/Goggles, but I imagine this extension could have a built-in feature with a list of AI websites. 9/10, does what it promises but could be more customizable and remove domains known for AI features an option.

    Thank you for the extension. That could be an interesting future feature: to filter out specific domains from the Search results.

    Does what promises! I'd suggest an easier way to disable this extension when someone actually wants AI, but it would only disturb the purpose of this extension, because it makes it harder for the lazy user to disable it (I say for myself): Configs > Extensions > Disable "DisableAI" All that path gives you time to remember: "Why did I installed this extension on the first place?" Thank you for helping me keep my intellect!!!!! "btw for anyone wondering - if you use duckduckgo, it has a lot of options to disable/enable many sorts of ai to your liking" - Well said from another comment. Greetin

    well, it does exactly what it says. disables ai, in a way that doesn't even let it send a request problemo is, you can't easily disable the extension without doin' it in firefox itself, and the reason why you'd want to do that is to simply get back to the 'all' tab on google. which shows things like the calculator or the stopwatch or games or whatever else is embedded into it. web tab has none of that, which fer me is a bit annoying, since i do actually need that. ofcourse you can just go to a website, but it's easier fer me to have it on google. anyways, it works, but sometimes i need it off
    morey'know?
    Developer reply · 30 May 2026
    Like you mentioned, there are other options than using the embedded tools on Google. You can also disallow the addon from running in Private windows if you still want the ability to use some of the other features, but AI will still run when you have the addon disabled and Google plans to add even more AI into search. We've become too accustomed to conveniences when we can take a few extra moments to still get the answers we want.

    I love using this extension, because ai not even real, it's just made up thing by developers, and actually not option to use ai overview because is a scam, thankfully someone will get this review of mine

  9. ★★★☆☆ Firefox user 13990839 · 23 May 2026 · v1.5.2
    Just adds &udm=14 to the url. A custom filter on ublock origin does the work better.
    Developer reply · 24 May 2026
    A ublock filter only hides the AI overview on Google, but the AI that generates it is still running. Adding udm=14 on Google is the only way to actually not run the AI. And this extension does different things depending on the search engine. You can find a detailed description at https://github.com/jruns/disable-ai
