You may have noticed when searching for something on Google, an AI summary will appear before all of the search results. This summary, generated by Gemini, is an attempt by Google's AI to tell you the most relevant information about whatever it is you're searching for. However, AI summaries remain a real work in progress, and often don't give you the answer — or the link — you want.
Fortunately, there are a number of Chrome extensions that can block AI summaries, and give you just what you need. For example, a Chrome extension called Slop Evader can roll back your searches to before November 30, 2022, which just so happens to be the date that ChatGPT went public. It's easy to install and works on multiple search engines, not just Google — including YouTube, Reddit, and more.
