De-AI Google Chrome Extension

The Google AI Overview of search results is often quite bad, so this extension automatically modifies Google search queries to exclude AI-generated results by appending "-ai" to your searches. Available for Chrome and Edge browsers.

Features

• Automatic AI Exclusion: Appends -ai to all Google search queries to filter out AI-generated content
• Smart Query Processing: Prevents duplicate -ai additions and normalizes queries
• Form Interception: Handles both direct URL navigation and form submissions
• Dynamic Updates: Works with single-page application navigation and history changes

How It Works

The extension uses content scripts to ensure consistent behavior:

1. Content Script: Modifies search queries in real-time and handles form submissions
2. URL Rewriting: Processes both direct navigation and dynamic page changes

Technical Details

Query Modification Logic

1. Normalization: Removes existing -ai terms to prevent duplication
2. Addition: Appends -ai to the cleaned query
3. Deduplication: Tracks last applied URL to prevent infinite redirects
