What Bye Bye, Google AI does
The extension uses CSS to set specific sections of Google's search results page to hidden, including AI Overviews, sponsored blocks, discussion sections, shopping blocks, video results and "People also ask" boxes. AI Overviews are hidden by default, and the options menu lets you turn the others on or off individually.
Bye Bye, Google AI free vs paid
The extension is free with no paid tier described in its listing. All of its filtering options, including the language support added across recent versions, are available without payment or an account.
Is Bye Bye, Google AI safe?
The extension works by hiding elements on Google's own search results page rather than intercepting or altering your data elsewhere. Because it depends on matching Google's current page structure, the developer notes that a Google layout change can require an extension update to keep working.
