Tack “&udm=14” on to the end of a normal search, and you’ll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.
It’s perfectly fine to be surprised that people use things. Facebook is still here, I’m surprised. Heck, until the news that ICQ was shutting down, I thought it had been dead for decades.
What’s really tiresome is comments like yours
If you’re surprised that people still use Google to search then I hope you don’t get a job as a statistician 😂
I think people will use whatever is the default set in their browser.
That said, I do all my searching through “AI” that can search for me, sort through 50 pages, and give me the relevant links. Works every time.
Are you like, about 14?
Are you like, about 70?
I think they provide a very reasonable reality check / a bit of reflection. And it sounds like you could use one, if you’re surprised that Facebook still exists.
You’re entitled to your opinion!
Thanks, that’s a relief!
