How To Turn Off Ai Responses On Google Search Engine

To turn off AI responses on the Google search engine, you can follow these steps, as Google does not provide a direct option to disable AI Overviews entirely:

1. Using the "Web" Tab:

   • On mobile devices, tap the "Web" tab at the top of the search results to access traditional web page results without AI Overviews.
   • On a computer, click the "⋮ More" tab and select "Web" to view search results without AI-generated summaries.

2. Modifying Search Engine Settings in Chrome:

   • Open Chrome and go to chrome://settings/searchEngines.
   • Navigate to Search Engine > Manage Search Engines and Site Search.
   • Click "Add" next to the "Site search" section.
   • Enter a nickname, shortcut, and paste the URL: {google:baseURL}search?q=%s&udm=14.
   • Save or Add, then select the three dots next to the entry and choose "Make default". This will direct your searches to a version of Google that does not display AI Overviews.

3. Using Chrome Extensions:

   • Install the "Hide Google AI Overviews" extension from the Chrome Web Store. This extension works on Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers to remove AI-generated summaries from search results.

4. Using Alternative Browsers:

   • Consider using web browsers other than Chrome, such as Firefox or Safari, which do not display AI Overviews on queries.

5. Using uBlock Origin:

   • Download the uBlock Origin extension.
   • Go to settings, then My filters, and paste google.com##.GcKpu.
   • Select "Apply changes" to block AI Overviews.

6. Using Alternative Search Engines:

   • Some users suggest using alternative search engines like DuckDuckGo for better privacy and results without AI Overviews.

These methods provide workarounds to avoid AI Overviews, as Google does not allow users to disable them directly.
