How to disable 'AI Mode' in address bar and new tab on Chrome

You can disable and remove the “AI Mode” option from the Google Chrome browser address bar and new tab page by turning off the “AI Mode Omnibox entrypoint,” “AI Entrypoint Disabled on User Input,” “Omnibox Allow AI Mode Matches,” and “NTP Compose Entrypoint” options from the flags page.

On Google Chrome for Windows 11 or macOS, you can disable the “AI Mode” button that appears on the right side of the address bar, as well as the “AI Mode” button from the search box available in the new tab page, and in this guide, I’ll show you the steps to complete this process.

In recent updates to the web browser for Windows 11 and macOS, Google began rolling out changes to encourage users to use its AI feature for web results. The company is implementing this in a couple of ways, including adding “AI Mode” buttons to the address bar and the new tab page of the web browser.

Although these shortcuts may make it easier and faster to get AI answers, they are not something everyone wants. If you’re among those who still prefer the classic web results, you can disable or completely turn off this AI mode in Google Chrome. However, the company isn’t making it easy, since you have to edit the experimental “flags” page.

In this guide, I’ll outline the steps to disable the new AI Mode buttons that appear across Google Chrome.

Disable AI Mode buttons on Google Chrome

To disable the AI Mode button from the address bar and new tab page on Google Chrome, follow these steps:

Open Google Chrome.
Type the following path in the address bar and press Enter to open the “flags” experimental settings to disable the AI Mode button from the address bar:
```
chrome://flags/#ai-mode-omnibox-entry-point
```
Use the “AI Mode Omnibox entrypoint” setting on the right and select the Disabled option.
Type the following path in the address bar and press Enter:
```
chrome://flags/#hide-aim-omnibox-entrypoint-on-user-input
```
Use the “AI Entrypoint Disabled on User Input” setting on the right and select the Disabled option.
Type the following path in the address bar and press Enter:
```
chrome://flags/#omnibox-allow-ai-mode-matches
```
Use the “Omnibox Allow AI Mode Matches” setting on the right and select the Disabled option.
Type the following path in the address bar and press Enter:
```
chrome://flags/#ntp-compose-entrypoint
```
Use the “NTP Compose Entrypoint” setting on the right and select the Disabled option.
Click the Relaunch button.

After completing the steps, the next time you use Google Chrome, the address bar and search box on the new tab page should no longer display the “AI Mode” button.

These instructions have been successfully applied to Google Chrome version 141. However, it’s important to note that as new versions of the browser become available, sometimes the company makes implementations permanent without a way to disable them.

In other words, you can disable the AI buttons in the latest version of the browser, but it may come to the time when these settings may disappear.

If you change your mind, you can always re-enable the feature using the same steps, but in this case, you would have to select the “Enabled” option for “AI Mode Omnibox entrypoint,” “AI Entrypoint Disabled on User Input,” “Omnibox Allow AI Mode Matches,” and “NTP Compose Entrypoint,” and the restart the browser to apply the changes.
