SkyNot - Terminate Google's AI Overviews

SkyNot is a Firefox extension that replaces Google's annoying AI-generated content with quotes from the Terminator movies.

🎬 What It Does

SkyNot automatically intercepts content being added to Google's 'AI Overview' container, and steps in to replace it with memorable quotes from Terminator characters, complete with avatars and typing animations.

🎮 How to Use

1. Install the Extension (see installation instructions below)
2. Visit Google Search and perform any search query
3. Watch SkyNot Work: When Google tries to show AI content, you'll see Terminator quotes instead
4. Toggle On/Off: Click the icon to open the popup, and the button to activate/deactivate
