Removing panels
Search pages carry a lot that isn't results: AI answers, video panels, "People also ask". Settings → Remove panels removes the ones you turn on, on every search: a switch that's on means Anubis removes that part, and off leaves it on the page.
| Switch | What it removes |
|---|---|
| AI answers | Google's AI Overview and its AI Mode tab, DuckDuckGo's AI-assisted answers and its Duck.ai tab and buttons, Bing's AI answer across the top of the page (with the video and links beside it), and Brave's AI answers. |
| Video panels | Video and short-video panels between the results, like Bing's "Videos of…". |
| People also ask | Lists of other people's questions with expandable answers. |
| Discussion panels | Panels of forum threads between the results, like Google's "Discussions and forums" and Brave's "Discussions". Forum pages among the results stay. |
| Top stories | News panels between the results. |
| Image rows | Rows of images between the results. The Images tab still works. |
| Related searches | Lists of other searches, usually at the bottom of the page, Bing's "Related searches based on your browsing", and the "People also search for" box Bing and Google add under a result you went to and came back from. The links to later pages stay. |
| Other search engines | Rows of buttons that repeat your search on another engine, like Brave's "Find elsewhere" with Google, Bing, and Mojeek. |
All of them start off.
What was removed
The summary above the results, or above an AI answer when there is one, says what went: "It also removed an AI answer and a video panel." Show hidden brings removed panels back on that page, with a dashed outline so you can tell them apart.
How panels are found
Anubis recognises a panel by its heading ("AI Overview", "Videos", "People also ask") rather than by the engine's internal names for it, which change often. It only removes panels between the results. The side panel on the right of Google's results is left alone, and so is anything containing a result, the search box, or the links to later pages.
Headings are recognised in English and some common translations (French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch). If a panel in your language isn't removed, open an issue with the heading's exact text.
Stopping AI answers at the source
Removing a panel after the engine sends it depends on recognising it. Google has its own view without AI, and Anubis can use it:
- Google: Always open the Web tab opens Google's own "Web" view (the one under More → Web), which shows plain links with no AI Overview and no panels at all. This is a separate switch because it removes everything that isn't a link, including panels you might want. To see the usual page for one search, choose All above the results.
