Well as a counterpoint I have found that Google's own Gemini has been quite helpful in letting me de-clutter and turn off various nasty more-or-less AI-connected additions in Google's UI. For example it made short order of providing me with the much needed Chrome plugin get_rid_of_TikTok_wanabee_shorts on Youtube.com:

function hideShorts() { const shorts = document.querySelectorAll('ytd-rich-shelf-renderer[is-shorts]'); shorts.forEach(short => { short.style.display = 'none'; }); } hideShorts(); const observer = new MutationObserver(hideShorts); observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
