Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist/issues/297

ive been researching this to see if its a known issue or not and i cant figure it out, is there anyway to have the ai overview be blocked at a dns level?

No because it probably gets received from the same IP as Google.

DNS? You can't even block it with https or any network filters. It can only be blocked through cosmetic filtering by adblockers like uBO or ABP.

Had a look with Web Inspector under Network. It isn't possible to block the ai search based on just a website domain.
Cosmetic filter or trying to find the exact script and preventing it from loading is definitely possible.
Could nuke google search as a whole as a pinhole filter, but at that point it would better to switch to a different search engine.
