About Hide Google AI Overviews and Mode

Take back your search results. This extension instantly removes Google’s AI Overviews, "People Also Ask" AI suggestions, and AI mode buttons. It's a lightweight extension that simply sets those areas of the page to be hidden. Note that if Google makes changes to its CSS, the extension needs to be updated to keep up with it.
