There are 3 ways to prevent the Evolv AI snippet from running
-
Use the Evolv AI extension (Chrome and Edge only)
If you have the Evolv AI Chrome extension installed, you can easily turn the Evolv AI Snippet on or off by switching the Snippet Enabled toggle.You can download the Evolv AI Chrome extension from the chrome web store.
-
Use DevTools Network request blocking (or an extension)
Use Network request blocking in Chrome DevTools. Other bowsers (Edge, Firefox) also have that feature, but Safari and Opera don't. For Safari and Opera use an extension like uBlock Origin.
Steps (using the Chrome browser)
- Open DevTools
Right click anywhere on the page and choose Inspect or choose the View / Developer / Developer Tools menu or select Option-Command-I on the Mac (Control-Shift-I on Windows). - In the upper right corner in DevTools select the three vertical dots, then More Tools and choose Network request blocking
- Check Enable network request blocking
- Select the plus sign and enter "webloader"
- Reload the page
Don't forget to uncheck Enable network blocking after you're done.
- Open DevTools
-
Add a parameter to the URL
Add evolvBlockExecution as a query parameter or URL fragment (starting with the hash sign "#") with a value of true to any URL the Evolv AI snippet is on. This will disable Evolv AI on your site until you add the same parameter (or URL fragment) again with a value of false.
?evolvBlockExecution=true
or
#evolvBlockExecution=true
The Evolv AI plugin stores the block execution state in a session variable called evolv:blockExecution. If you clear the session storage for the site it will be cleared as well.
