TenBlue removes Google’s AI Overview and gives you ten blue links back.

With the answer box up, two results fit your first screen. With TenBlue on, four do. It hides the Overview before the page finishes drawing, counts what it spared you, and leaves a small pill so any one block is a click from coming back.

AI Overview

Turn off the water at the isolation valve, then open the tap to drain the line. Pull the handle cap and unscrew the headgear with an adjustable spanner. Most drips trace to a worn washer or a perished O‑ring; take the old part to a merchant and match the size before refitting.

For quarter-turn taps the ceramic cartridge is replaced as a unit rather than re-washered, and the tap body should be held steady while the retaining nut is loosened…

TenBlue on one search for “how to fix a leaking tap”: the AI Overview is gone, result 01 takes the top of the screen, and the pill keeps that answer one click away.

The problem

You searched for a tap washer. You got an essay.

Somewhere along the way, the results page stopped leading with results. A machine-written summary arrives first, stretched across the full width of the first screen, and the links you actually searched for sit somewhere underneath it. If you had wanted a summary, you would have asked for one. You asked for pages.

TenBlue does one narrow job. On google.com/search it hides the AI Overview block the moment the page starts to render — and, if you flip a second switch, the “People also ask” accordion too. It rewrites nothing, filters nothing, adds no new-tab page, and asks for no account.

Where a block was hidden, a small pill notes it — ✦ AI Overview hidden · Show — so one click brings any single answer back. TenBlue asks for the same skepticism it was built on: nothing disappears without a way to check what you’re missing.

Flat illustration of the same search results page twice: on the left an AI answer panel fills the screen above two results; on the right the panel is gone, a small pill sits in its place and four results fit above the dashed fold line. — The same search, twice. The dashed line is where the first screen ends: on the left the answer box spends it before the results begin; on the right the links take it back, and the pill keeps the summary one click away.

Gone before you see it

Hidden before the results finish painting.

TenBlue’s content script is matched to google.com/search and nothing else. It injects one CSS class at document_start — before the browser draws the page — so the known Overview containers never paint at all. Anything Google renames or renders late is caught a beat later by the fallback, then hidden.

// manifest.json "run_at": "document_start"

The rest of the detection chain — the heading fallback, the observer, the scoped module selector — is filed entry by entry in the index below.

answers hidden so far 1

TenBlue repeats it on every load: the reserved block never paints, and the first result takes the top of the screen.

How many first screens you got back

It counts the answers it took off your screen.

Every hide is one first screen that went to results instead of a summary. The lifetime counter adds at most one AI Overview and one “People also ask” per page load — Google swaps DOM nodes mid-render, and counting per node would inflate the number. Increments are serialized through the service worker, so two tabs can’t double-count.

The toolbar badge counts hides on the page you’re reading right now. Flip one more switch and the “People also ask” accordion folds away with the Overview.

“Time saved” assumes ~15 seconds per skipped answer. It’s an estimate — and the options footer says so.

1 hidden on this page

Flip it yourself.

The master switch below behaves exactly like the one in TenBlue’s popup: on means the answer box collapses to a pill, off means stock Google. The pill’s Show works too — undo is per block, not all-or-nothing.

In the real extension the hide lands at document_start, so there is nothing to watch collapse: results simply arrive without the box.

Which Tap Do You Have?

Quarter-turn taps don’t use washers at all.

TenBlue in miniature: one switch in the popup, one pill on the page — nothing hides without leaving a way back.

Under the hood

Everything TenBlue does, in plain type.

Match, hide, re-check. The whole mechanism, filed the way the page it protects files things — six entries, no marketing between them.

Prefer zero extensions? Google’s own “Web” filter — the udm=14 parameter — shows a results-only view, one search at a time. TenBlue exists so you don’t have to reach for it on every single search.

tenblue › how › first-paint

One CSS class, injected at document_start

The content script is matched to google.com/search and nothing else. Known AI Overview containers are covered before the results render, so those blocks never flash into view.

tenblue › how › fallback

A heading fallback, and a MutationObserver behind it

When Google renames a container mid-render, the fallback finds the literal “AI Overview” heading and climbs to its block; the observer re-applies the hide every time the page re-renders.

tenblue › popup › counter

A lifetime counter, serialized against double-counting

Answers hidden and time saved, stored in chrome.storage.local. At most one Overview and one “People also ask” counted per page load; increments pass through the service worker so parallel tabs can’t inflate the total.

A per-tab badge

The toolbar icon counts the blocks hidden on the page you’re reading right now; the lifetime total lives in the popup.

A pill where the block was, with per-block undo

✦ AI Overview hidden · Show. Click Show and that one block returns; click Hide and it folds away again. The pill renders in a closed Shadow DOM, so Google’s CSS and TenBlue’s never mix.

tenblue › privacy

Dark mode, and the whole permission ask

Popup, options page and the marker follow prefers-color-scheme. Permissions: storage, plus content-script access to google.com/search — Chrome will say “read and change your data on www.google.com”, and it means that one page. There is no server to send anything to.

Read before installing

What TenBlue can’t do.

Only google.com

Country domains — google.co.uk, google.de and the rest — aren’t matched yet. Keeping the match pattern narrow keeps the permission prompt honest.

English headings

The text fallback reads the literal “AI Overview” heading, so non-English Google UIs are covered only when a known selector happens to match.

“Time saved” is an estimate

~15 seconds per skipped answer, and the options footer says so — the number never pretends to be a measurement.

Ads and shopping units stay

TenBlue removes the AI Overview and, optionally, “People also ask”. It does not touch ads, video rows or shopping carousels — one job, done narrowly on purpose.

The scope, drawn: the pill where the Overview was, the results underneath — and, dashed, the ad block TenBlue leaves alone.
