Does FF block AI overview?

more options

I use Google search and do not like the AI overview feature. In the Chrome, Edge, and Opera browser I've added an extension that blocks the AI. What I've noticed when I use FF I see no AI results when using Google search and I've not added an AI overview block extension. Is there something different about FF that prevents AI results from showing without the need for an extension? I look forward to your comments. Thanks

Google installed the Gemini extension without my permission. I do not want AI messing around in my computer at all. Can FF block Gemini. Can I have the ability to freeze or delete it? I think they are using AI as a way to gather even more information about all of us. AI looks, feels, and acts like spam.

I don't want Gemini in Firefox, but can find absolutely NO way to block it. I want it off my computer. AI will sometimes give nonsense suggestions. There ought to be an option to disable it or an add on to prevent AI results. I don't want them. I don't like the idea of AI at all.

I still have not rec'd a concrete answer as to whether FF blocks Google AI overview. The reason I asked the question, in the first place, is I've not seen any AI answers when I do a Google search. If you what to be sure using Google in FF there is an extension available in FF extensions to block AI overview. Just search for it. I hope that helps and I hope someone will specifically answer whether FF is blocking AI in Goolgle search.
