After every search, Perplexity presents a one-click Computer option at the bottom of the results. It is easy to select accidentally, and once Computer starts, it may run until completion or consume available credits.  
Please add a persistent setting to hide all Computer recommendations and one-click launch buttons for Computer after Search answers. I want Computer shown only when I explicitly select it from the mode picker. Please also require confirmation before any credit-consuming Computer run begins.
