This is a concept, not a Google feature, and it isn't affiliated with Google. I built it as a working prototype.
The idea
What if you could skip Google's AI Overview the way you skip a YouTube ad? Everyone already knows that pattern, so it needs no explanation.
What I built
The AI Overview loads as usual, with a "Skip in 3" countdown on top of it. When the countdown ends you can skip it and go straight to the results. If you always skip it, there's a setting to always skip AI Overviews, so it never shows up for you.
Decisions
The countdown makes skipping feel fair rather than hostile. The overview still gets its moment, and you still get the choice.
The always-skip setting is the honest version of the feature. If someone skips every time, asking them every time is just friction.
