AI-Free Search Releases Guide to Turning Off Google AI Overview

A free tool site called AI-Free Search has published per-browser tutorials and a lightweight extension teaching users to hide AI Overview in Google Search and restore the traditional 10 blue links. The site says the extension is completely free, requires no account, and can be set up within 60 seconds. The site notes that Google currently offers no account-level switch to turn off AI Overview for ordinary web search, so the tutorials instead use Google's official udm=14 parameter or the extension. The site also explains that on Apple Safari, custom search URLs cannot be forced without installing an extension; and extensions that hide content via CSS may need selector maintenance after Google updates its page structure. Whether these methods remain effective long-term depends on whether Google adjusts the parameter or page structure; the report gives no verification results.
