24 alternatives to AI Overview Hider for Google

I'm not going to lie to you, HN, this is just a stylesheet distributed as a browser extension because it's the easiest way for me both use it and keep it updated on all my browsers and devices. But if you want to hide AI Overviews on desktop and mobile and have someone keeping an eye out for new variants (which is the perfect word for Google finding new ways to infect their search results with them) and hiding them in a timely manner, I'm your man. Google seem to be continually adding new variants - in the last 12 hours I've pushed releases to hide AI Overviews now appearing as sections in…

    Hi All, since I am consistently overwhelmed with all the all the ai/gpt news on the hn front page I built this simple extension to filter out such articles and show them on the extension popup if I'm in the mood to read. I am interested in the topic but just tired of reading the similar discussions (local models, llama on mac, ai taking away our jobs, etc) all the time. Every few days I search for topics on hn.algolia.com and go over any exciting development. Ironically, since this was the first time I built an extension chat-gpt helped build 90% of the extension since . Also once…

    I think we all have a similar flow and pain with browsers and AI. Copy article, paste in Claude tab, come back to article, back to Claude, in circles we go. Anthropic has a Chrome extension, but my daily driver is Safari. So I made my own extension. It's not a clone as I've never used the Chrome version. One obvious change: the Chrome version I believe uses Chrome "request sidebar" thing. And Safari doesn't have that, so had to inject the sidebar right in the site html itself. There's been some fun things in here like figuring out the sidebar html/css sandboxing. Also there's an agent…

    I saw a lot of people angry at Google and wanted to turn off "AI Overview" feature. So I wrote a manual on how to do it for Chrome and Firefox, on mobile and desktop.

    Hey all, Justin here. I previously built Phind, the AI search engine for developers. One of the biggest problems we had there was figuring out what went wrong with bad searches. We had tons of searches per day, but less than 1% of users gave any explicit feedback. So we were either manually digging through searches or making general system improvements and hoping they helped. This problem gets harder with agents. Traces are longer and more complex. It takes more effort to review them, so I'm building a tool that lets you analyze LLM outputs directly to help developers of LLM apps and agents…

    I'm so tired of all that crappy AI content that is published every day. It's becoming way harder to find genuine creators on the internet because they are being overshadowed with massive amount of AI-driven material. I think I'm not the only one who thinks like that and that is why I've published "Is Generated" it's a community based Chrome Extensions where users can report, vote and block the content they suspect is AI-generated. Together, we can take back control and make the internet a better place for authentic creators!

    Hi HN! I built this tool, because Large Language Models are hallucinating their asses off and I wanted to test just how bad it is with a topic I know best - myself. I'm sure there are other egos out there who google themselves and essentially this is the new googling yourself. It's early beta, so lots of room for improvement of course.

    Hey HN I read and research multiple things, both for work and personal curiosity. But I realized that in doing so, I have to frequently switch among many reading tabs and note-taking pages, which breaks my reading flow. That's why I teamed up with my friends to build Saner.ai Chrome Extension. It’s a side panel note that appears across tabs, and we can toggle it on and off whenever we like. Also, we can highlight any text and then use keyboard shortcuts to save it along with its URL. This has made my reading and research experience smoother :) I hope it will be helpful to people like us out…

    I've already picked up so much great news and tips from here — thanks to the HNers for sharing. That said, I still find myself manually checking various official newsrooms and engineering blogs. To save myself from the constant 'tab hunting,' I built a small Chrome extension with a bit of help from Codex. It’s been working well for my workflow, so I figured I’d put it on the Web Store in case anyone else finds it useful. Since many companies don't provide (or they just neglect) RSS feeds anymore, I built it to fetch the pages directly and extract the links. I’ve limited it to one check per…
