Google Search Cleaner

Chrome extension that removes "Dive deeper in AI Mode" buttons from Google search results while preserving "Show more" functionality.

Installation

1. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/
2. Enable "Developer mode" (toggle in top-right corner)
3. Click "Load unpacked"
4. Select the google-search-cleaner folder
5. Done - the extension is now active

How It Works

• Monitors Google search pages for AI Mode buttons
• Removes them automatically as they appear
• Uses MutationObserver to handle dynamically loaded content
• Preserves all other functionality including "Show more" buttons

Files

• manifest.json - Extension configuration
• content.js - Main logic that removes AI buttons
• icon16.png, icon48.png, icon128.png - Extension icons

Testing

1. Search for anything on Google
2. Look for AI Overview sections
3. The "Dive deeper in AI Mode" buttons should be automatically removed
4. "Show more" buttons should still work normally

Debugging

Open Chrome DevTools (F12) and check the Console tab. You'll see:

• [Google Search Cleaner] Extension loaded and monitoring on page load
• [Google Search Cleaner] Removed X AI Mode element(s) when elements are removed

Customization

To block additional phrases, edit BLOCKED_PHRASES array in content.js:

const BLOCKED_PHRASES = [
  'dive deeper in ai mode',
  'your custom phrase here'
];
