Even though I don't use Gemini, I have a permanent Gemini 'FAB' located above the 'Start Chat' FAB in Android / Google Messages and I can't seem to get rid of it.

Material 3 guidelines say "Don't display multiple FABs on a single screen":

For those like me who didn't know what a FAB is, it stands for "Floating Action Button", which is intended to be the primary action for a page

Kagi, who up to now have been respectful of their users, have just introduced a floating 'Quick Answers' AI summariser button in the bottom right of their search results page on mobile - precisely where one would place one's thumb to scroll the page.

I've already inadvertently clicked on it once.

Very disappointing and they don't provide any toggle to remove it.

There definitely should be an easier way, but here you go:

  .qa-mode-box {
    display: none;
  }

They’re going to remove it

I was wondering why I don't see what you see, but I realize I use Google Chat (which used to be XMPP, current status I don't know) and not Google Messages. What do you use this app for? RCS messaging?

Ah, the benefit of using the messaging app Google's neglected is the lack of this Gemini button...
