Yeah I understand there are a couple of issues with the overviews in the 'People also ask' section, especially the first accordion not opening sometimes. Try searching for 'Cure for [disease]' and it breaks beyond recognition.
I'm currently working on a fix for that.
As for the header popping up for a second, I'm sorry about that, I'm using a direct method to find and remove the div from the DOM, because I really don't want to use another MutationObserver, having this extension slow down the UX and feel of Google.com is the last thing I want to do. Although, having a MutationObserver that's immediately cancelled if the overview is found might do the trick?
If you have a method that'll work better, please, feel free to open a github issue and PR, It'd really help, what with the limited time I have, I don't get a lot of time to work on this.
All this would be so much easier if Google didn't obfuscate their classes and IDs ;_;

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18441970, 7 days agoDoesn't remove the AI overview in the "People Also Ask" accordion, despite what it says in the about section. I'm not sure if it remove the general one, but I haven't seen one the few times I have searched after getting the addon a couple minutes ago. The part I downloaded it for was the "People Also Ask" feature, though, and that is completely absent.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15910595, 24 days agoAwesome! Works for Android unlike some others. Will update if I notice it cause problems.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18661336, a month agoDoesn't work on Desktop, at most it prevents you from opening the first 'people also ask' which has an overview, but after that it doesn't work. Glad somebody's trying to get rid of them though. It seems to work on mobile but the header does pop up for a second.
