Google's "AI Overview" should be block-able

[DestinyLand]

Google searches are preceded by an "AI Overview" now (paragraphs generated from text scraped from the web).  It's been suggested earlier that Firefox remove these overviews with a browser extension.  But since Firefox already lets you customize your search results, how about also offering a "links only" sub-choice for search results from Google and other sites?

This is highly in demand, and might increase Firefox's popularity.  It would also be appreciated by web publishers, who are facing a "traffic apocalypse" after search engine's stopped prioritizing link results.  (They're also concerned that the overviews are re-publishing information from their sites without licensing it -- even before you get to the issue of AI-generated content being sometimes inaccurate...)

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I think this a great idea.  Those AI summaries are distracting trash.

Is there some way we could block them with an existing content blocker like uBlock origin?

U can use startpage or some other search engine instead of google.
