Below are some workarounds that will hide AI Overviews in some situations.

The other method is to edit your search engine controls in Chrome.
This is the next best option if you don’t want to install an extension.
Open Chrome’s controls by selecting thethree dotsat the top right and then choosingSettingsat the bottom of the menu.
SelectSearch engineon the left.
SelectManage search engines and site searchon the right.
Scroll down and selectAddnext to theSite searchsection.
Google AI Overviews is now hidden.
The results now open directly to theWebsection instead ofAll, which is where AI Overview lives.

These directions work for Chrome on Android and iOS.
Open TenBlueLinks.orgfrom your mobile rig.
Open a new tab and search for something (anything) on Google.
Tap thethree dotsin the corner of the app and then chooseSettingsfrom the menu.
