AI Overview

Baking sourdough bread involves activating wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria in a flour-and-water starter. The standard process spans 24-36 hours:

  • Feed Starter: Mix equal parts flour, water, and starter 4-12 hours prior to mixing.
  • Autolyse & Mix: Rest flour and water, then incorporate starter and salt.
  • Bulk Fermentation: Perform stretch-and-folds every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours.
  • Cold Proof: Retard shaped dough in refrigerator for 12-16 hours for complex flavor.

Why Use This Extension?

Get your classic Google Search experience back without sacrificing speed, privacy, or reliability.

Blazing Fast Search

By forcing Web-only results, Google skips the heavy client-side JavaScript rendering of AI overviews. Pages load noticeably faster and use less browser memory.

100% Privacy Focused

The extension requires zero accounts, zero registrations, and collects absolutely no data. All redirection logic runs completely on your local device.

Bulletproof Engine

Unlike scraper extensions that inject custom CSS/JS scripts to hide HTML blocks, this uses Chrome's native declarativeNetRequest API to filter search parameters before page load. It never breaks when Google tweaks page layouts.

One-Click Global Switch

Need AI results for a particular query? Toggle the extension on/off seamlessly using the quick toolbar action popup. It also elegantly ignores Google Images and custom AI-Mode tabs.

How It Works Under the Hood

The extension seamlessly guides your browser to Google's official, underlying classic layout.

Standard Google Query:
https://www.google.com/search?q=sourdough+bread
Redirect via declarativeNetRequest
Classic Web-Only Query:
https://www.google.com/search?q=sourdough+bread&udm=14

Google provides a built-in search filter called Web that displays text-only listings (links, snippets, and page URLs). It is activated by appending the query parameter udm=14. This extension intercepts standard Google search requests and automatically appends this parameter before the request is even transmitted to Google, returning the clean classic lists server-side!

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about the extension? We've got answers.

Google Search has a built-in, server-side filter called "Web" that hides AI Overviews, featured snippets, advertisements, and knowledge panels. Adding udm=14 to the search URL triggers this mode server-side, forcing Google to return only classic blue links.

No. By using the modern declarativeNetRequest API, the browser handles the URL redirection locally. The extension never reads your page content, records your searches, or contacts external servers. It is 100% private and runs fully client-side.

No! Because it changes the URL parameters before the page loads instead of injecting JavaScript to modify the HTML page content, it is completely immune to Google Search CSS classes or structural HTML changes.

It works on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc, and other Chromium-based browsers. It can also run on Mozilla Firefox by declaring a fallback configuration (see developer notes).
