AI Overview Vanish Chrome extension

AI Overview Vanish hides AI Overviews, the AI Mode tab, and other AI answer boxes across Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Brave, running only on search pages rather than injecting code site-wide. It's best for anyone who wants plain search results back. The catch: per-engine toggles mean you need to check settings if an AI box still appears somewhere.

What AI Overview Vanish does

AI Overview Vanish removes AI-generated answer boxes from search results, including Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode tab, Bing's Copilot answers, DuckDuckGo's Duck.ai and DuckAssist prompts, and Brave's 'Ask AI' summaries. It runs a small script only on search result pages rather than modifying every site you visit.

Note on the extension's name

This extension is currently listed on the Chrome Web Store as 'Hide AI Overviews' rather than 'AI Overview Vanish.' The functionality described here matches that listing: hiding AI answer boxes across Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Brave.

Is AI Overview Vanish safe?

The listing states it makes zero network requests, collects no analytics or account data, and requests only the storage permission to save your settings. Because it targets search pages specifically rather than injecting broadly, its permission footprint is narrower than many content-blocking extensions.
