AI blocker not working, why not?

On a Linux desktop so not 1:1, but it works fine for me doing a Google search.

I have to ask though, why use Google in the first place? If you’re using Brave then presumably you want to get away from Google’s spyware and AI slop. Why not use a different search engine? If not Brave Search then Startpage, DuckDuckGo or Qwant are all solid alternatives from my experience. All of them aside from Startpage have their own AI answers too, but you can at least turn them off.

If you’re determined to use Google, might be helpful if you specify what device you’re using.
