Perplexity Never Suggest

A userscript that hides suggestions, homepage primers, and upsell banners on Perplexity.ai.

Why?

Perplexity's suggestion/widget settings reset across sessions and browsers. This script enforces them via localStorage overrides and CSS injection so they stay off permanently.

What it hides

• Suggestions -- the autocomplete dropdown that appears while typing in the search bar
• Homepage primers -- the "For you" / "Finance" / "Health" category tabs and their suggested queries
• Upsells & banners -- enterprise ads, student space upsells, sidebar connector ads, Comet download banners, sports CTA

Install

1. Install Tampermonkey (or Violentmonkey)
2. Open pplx-never-suggest.user.js from the releases tab

Usage

Everything is on by default. Toggle individual features via the Tampermonkey menu (click the extension icon):

• Hide Suggestions (typing) -- autocomplete dropdown
• Hide Homepage Primers -- category tabs + suggestion cards
• Hide Upsells & Banners -- ads, CTAs, download banners

How it works

Three layers of defense:

1. localStorage overrides -- sets Perplexity's own pplx.local-user-settings.* keys at page load and re-enforces them for 5 seconds while their React app initializes
2. CSS injection -- display: none !important rules injected at document-start (before render) targeting suggestion containers and primer sections
3. MutationObserver -- catches any late-rendered elements the CSS misses
