Google Tests Removing AI Mode From Search Tabs and 'Ask Anything' Box
gaganghotra_ · x · 2026-11-14
Search Engine Roundtable reports Google is testing removal of the AI Mode tab from the search results tab bar, plus the "Ask anything" follow-up box under AI Overviews — following earlier reports of AI Mode buttons disappearing from the homepage. Spotted via Glenn Gabe's screenshots, who called it "wild." It's a limited experiment the reporter couldn't replicate; some suspect Google is testing monetization-related changes to AI Mode.
