I’ll get straight to the point: there’s no “off” button for Google’s new AI Overviews feature. There is instead a “Web” button, buried in the “More” section of Google’s familiar row of buttons that look sort of like folder tabs, alongside things like “Images” and “News.”
Searching the new “Web” tab will get you the sort of results page you’re used to, with no AI-written summary of Google’s findings — just some links.
There’s a more elaborate, but much more complete solution to your problem as well, and I’ll go into that below. Using the Web option, however, is the simplest way out of the mess you’ve found yourself in.
