    what would be better is to have domain specific settings...
    you can easily fix the ai overview thing without disabling the extension entirely if you remove xmlhttprequest from the "Request types (expert level)" section in the settings.

    Cons to remove xmlhttprequest-
    Fragmented Privacy: Leaves a massive loophole where trackers are cleaned from copy-pasted links, but active scripts on the page can still track you unchecked.

    Could anyone please give a robust solution without compromising this extension's feature?

    How did you find out about xmlhttprequest?

    That doesn't sound ideal but better than having no Google AI I guess.
