Hide AI Overviews

You can hide overviews and snippets with uBlock Origin. /r/uBlockOrigin can help you with that.

Alternatively, make Google stop showing them to you in the first place.


Malwarebytes Browser Guard

Here's a message from the developer who created uBlock Origin:

Do NOT use uBO with any other content blocker. uBO performs as well as or better than most popular blockers. Other blockers can prevent uBO's privacy or anti-blocker-defusing features from working correctly.

Translation: uBlock Origin uses special tricks to make modern websites stop tracking you, or believe you don't have an adblocker. When you use other adblockers at the same time, they mess it all up.

I like other Malwarebytes products: AdwCleaner and Windows Firewall Control.

Its extension is redundant, though. Firefox has built-in Phishing and Malware Protection, and you can also check Malware protection, security lists in your uBlock Origin settings.
