Privacy Policy — AI Overview Blocker for Google

Last updated: July 2026

This extension does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data, browsing history, or user activity.

What the extension does

AI Overview Blocker for Google modifies the visual display of Google Search results pages within your own browser. It hides specific elements (such as the AI Overview box, the AI Mode tab, Sponsored Links, and other categories you choose to enable) by adding CSS rules to the page you are viewing. This happens entirely locally, in real time, as you browse.

What data is stored

The only data this extension stores is your own settings — which categories you have chosen to hide (for example, "AI Overviews: on" or "Sponsored Links: off"). This is stored using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.local API, which keeps the data only on your own device.

This stored data:

• Never leaves your device
• Is never transmitted to us, to Google, or to any third party
• Is never sold, shared, or used for advertising
• Contains no personal information, browsing history, page content, or search queries — only your own on/off preferences for the extension's features

What the extension does not do

• It does not read, log, or store the content of any page you visit
• It does not track your searches, clicks, or browsing history
• It does not collect your IP address, location, or device information
• It does not use analytics, tracking pixels, or any external services
• It does not communicate with any server — there is no backend, and no network requests are made by this extension

Permissions explained

• storage: used only to save your own on/off preferences locally, as described above.
• Host permission for *://*.google.com/*: used only to allow the extension's code to run on Google Search pages, so it can hide the elements you've chosen to hide. This permission is not used to read, collect, or transmit any data from those pages.

Changes to this policy

If this policy is ever updated, the new version will be posted at this same location with an updated "Last updated" date.
