How to Stop Google from AI-Summarising Your Website

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-23 10:28:35

Google has introduced AI-generated summaries in its search results—known as AI Overviews—which often pull your content into a snippet that may generate traffic away from your site. While it seems like a "feature," these summaries force site owners into a no-win choice between giving up control or visibility—arguably a dark pattern tactic by Google. To make matters worse, while there are regulatory investigations underway in the EU and UK striving to hold Google accountable, there’s still no goo

While I initially did this to force dark mode on my mobile browser and remove ads, I discovered plenty of benefits to using Brave over Chrome. One of these is access to Brave’s search engine, which prioritizes higher quality results with fewer ads and sponsored results compared to Google Search.
