Why does Opera now show Google AI overview in search results, and how do I remove this irritating 'feature'?

@Halfabee Are you using Google to search? If so, then you already have your answer for why it's being displayed.

But why does Google AI overview only appear when I use Opera, but not when I use Chrome or Firefox?
And to repeat my question, can it be removed when using Opera?

Go to Settings > Search engine > Manage search engines and site search
Select Add next to the Site search section
Add a nickname for your AI-less version of Google
Paste in this URL: {google:baseURL}search?q=%s&udm=14
Select Save or Add

Thanks Anil. How do I do this is Opera on my Android Phone?
I can go Account - Settings - Search which tells me Google is my default search engine and lets me change the search engine from the list - but not add a new search engine?

@Halfabee Where are you seeing it? Do you have a screenshot?

I don't seem to be getting it here

If you aren't getting it then think yourself lucky.

Stupid question - how do I upload a screenshot? I tried both of the image icons on the toolbar. One lead to this
And the other this, when I selected the screenshot I want to share.

Ah, it shows the image when I post...Anyway, that's what I get, the Google AI overview is always the first result to a search, it only appears when I use Opera, and I would like to remove it. Running Android 14 on a Nothing 1.

@Halfabee It seems to be something from the page itself.

I got it a couple of times when checking it yesterday, by the way.

@Halfabee It's a Google Labs experiment, you probably can disable it in your Google settings.

That's my issue: nowhere can I find where to turn off Google AI overview.
