About Hide AI Overview on Google

This extension is designed to help students think for themselves by removing the AI Overview box from Google Search results. With quick, ready-made answers showing up at the top of search pages, many kids are skipping the process of digging deeper or evaluating sources. That’s a real concern for teachers and parents who want to build strong thinking habits. By hiding auto-generated AI answers, the extension encourages students to read through actual websites, compare viewpoints, and come to their own conclusions. It's a useful tool for schools that want to promote real learning instead of quick copying, and a small step toward helping students become more thoughtful, independent thinkers.
