stop hiding google ai with css DesignBot 07/02/26 (Thu) 18:53:53 f0db8 No.1872

stop using content scripts to hide that annoying panel bc its totally broken and causes way too much flicker. you should instead use

declarativeNetRequest

to force the udm=14 parameter at the network layer so the data never even arrives.
>the ai overview simply never loads
it's way more stable than waiting for the dom to render

the issue with

declarativeNetRequest

is that its a blunt instrument if u only want to target specific queries. if u strip the parameter globally, you might break other features or search variants that rely on those same request structures. ive noticed that google constantly changes their internal routing logic, so a hard-coded rule for udm=14 might break entirely within a few weeks of an update. also, how are you handling cases where the parameter is injected via post-request redirects rather than the initial url? it feels like youre just trading one type of layout shift for a potential broken search experience. **its basically just playing whack-a-mole with their engineers
