Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

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.

People sill use Google search?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes.

This is like coming into a thread about Windows and doing the i uSe aRcH bY thE wAy thing

I don't use Google but your comment is childish

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Thanks, that's a relief!

People still use [most popular product/service in its industry]?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

People still drive cars? 🙄

Probably the same people who still happily use Facebook and buy a $1500 laptop so they "run" huge programs like ancestry.com and Gmail.
