A browser extension that removes Gemini and all Google AI injections from Chrome across Search, Gmail, Docs, and Drive in one toggle

Google force-installs Gemini into every Chrome surface (Search AI overview, Gmail compose bar, Docs side panel, Drive suggestions, on-device Nano model) with no single reliable off-switch. Users must hunt through chrome://flags, per-app settings, and per-account toggles every time Google re-enables AI features after a browser update. This extension kills all Google AI injections across every Google property with one toggle, persists user preferences through Chrome updates, and blocks the background download of on-device AI models.

Gap Assessment

CompetitiveMultiple tools exist but differentiation opportunities remain

3 tools exist (Bye Bye Google AI, Hide Gemini & Google AI, uBlock Origin (manual filter lists)) but gaps remain: Does not touch Gmail compose suggestions, Google Docs AI panel, Drive AI summaries, Chrome sidebar Gemini, or the on-device Nano model download; breaks on Google UI updates because it uses fragile CSS selectors; CSS-only approach means injections reappear after Google DOM updates; no coverage for on-device model download blocking, no user-preference persistence across reinstalls, no Gmail/Docs/Drive AI panel removal.
