How to turn off Ask Gemini in Chrome search bar

Google has integrated Gemini directly into the Chrome browser , allowing users to quickly access AI features right from the address bar. With Ask Gemini, users can search for information, ask questions, or get AI support with just a few simple taps. However, not everyone finds this feature truly necessary during browser use.
