- Google’s AI -Resume caused confusion for many users
- New Chrome tool removes AI overviews and helps clean up the search results
- Users can bypass AI content and regain control of their search experience
Google recently expanded its AI Summies to multiple regions and queries, but these summary, often displayed over traditional results, may be misleading or even just incorrect -a severely annoying addition for users who depend on Google search for accurate information.
Avram Piltch, editor -in -chief of Toms Hardwarehas created a new Chrome browser extension to help users take control of their Google searches.
The Bye, goodbye Google AI Expansion removes the divisive AI listings from search results and offers options to clean up other messy parts of the search page.
Any compatible browser
Instead of offering direct paths to useful links, AI listings often keep users on the Google site longer. This shift has raised concerns about how it affects web publishers whose content is often the source of Google’s response, but which can now receive less traffic.
In response built Piltch Bye, goodbye Google AI Over a weekend and made it available for free. The extension supports chrome, edge and any browser that is compatible with chrome extensions.
It allows users to not only hide AI listings, but also sections such as videos, text ads and “People also ask.” It supports 19 languages, including Spanish, Mandarin and Arabic.
Users who want to bypass AI completely without an extension can add “& UDD = 14” to search URLs to access the Cleaner “Web” tab.
On the desktop, this can be set as a standard search method through Chrome’s settings. For mobile users, a site called Tenblelink.org helps configure a custom search engine that skips AI elements, although this method does not work in Safari.
While Google continues to push AI content into its results, tools like Bye, goodbye Google AI Show that there is still room for users to shape how they search and explore the internet.
