Google Search users may have noticed a new feature recently that provides AI-generated summaries in search results. However, many users have expressed frustration with these summaries, finding them often inaccurate or unhelpful. To avoid these AI overviews, here are three easy ways to navigate around them:
1. **Web Tab:** When performing a search, users can click on the Web tab above the search results to bypass the AI-generated summary and go directly to the web search results for more accurate information.
2. **Extensions:** Desktop users can install Chrome extensions that disable the AI-generated summaries on Google search results pages. These extensions remove the unwanted content from the HTML pages, providing a workaround for avoiding AI overviews.
3. **Search Shortcut:** Users can set their browser to default to the Web view every time they perform a search. By creating a new search shortcut with a specific URL, users can ensure that their search results automatically default to the web view, bypassing the AI-generated summaries.
While there is no official way to opt out of the AI summaries, these methods offer effective solutions for users looking to avoid inaccurate or unhelpful information. Google is unlikely to provide an official opt-out feature, so these workarounds provide valuable alternatives for those seeking more reliable search results.
