Or when the search results say "learn about [thing], [insert adjectives here]" or other bullshit instead of just giving you the answer.

Ah yes. Before the dark times. When dragons lay sleeping.
I would add that if isa News website, the 1000 words article is just a verbatim copy from Reuters.
I want more info about [something happening], not to read the same article with minimal information again and again.
And politically biased content... fuck you Reddit
Why aren't you using ublock origin like a rational adult?
l use it
Algorithms
Algorithms? On my website? It's more likely than you think!
But not needed.
the biggest mistake of humanity was (and still is) javascript
One ring to bind them all...
It's called ublock origin and no script and one other add-on I have on icecat that blocks third-party connections.
For what is worth, I have yet to see a temu ad
Who made this?
There used to be a link at the bottom for who made it, but it appears to be missing now.
Since they're talking about JQuery, I think that knowledge is lost to time.
noice
Ad-blocker dedectors
buy crap you don't needed
Inrelevant information
SO MANY ADS, INRELEVANT INFORMATION, TRACKERS
It's getting so hard to find outrelevant results these days.
Are Temu the ones who say "pretend you're a billionaire" or something but their ads always have the most bizarre, undesirable-looking, nasty, cheap, plastic things in them?
"Shop like a billionaire"
"Uh, ok"
closes Temu app, calls Sotheby's
Yep. That's the ones. Or really pornographic or absurd. Cause buying more makes you feel like you have control of your life when you can buy a new shirt that dissolves when you wash it because you can't afford to take a day off to walk around a park.
Yeah but you get it all 1000 times faster and mum can still use the phone at the same time
Can we please not destroy the word algorithm? It's such a nice word....
I think most websites have better UI now. Sure not all of them, but generally they are more appealing and easy to navigate from any device.
Man... Try saying that with a non standard size phone screen... Or the terrible UI to force you into downloading an app.
Can't even check the balance on a Dave and busters card without a masters degree in computer science.
Reeeeeaalllllllyyyy putting on the rose tinted goggles, here...
I remember clicking on a website and getting ABSOLUTELY BOMBSRDED WITH NEVERENDING POPUPS OF HARDCORE PORN PICS AND SOUND and my parents were behind me, and you just panic reboot the computer.
It's funny because I definitely remember this happening while using Netscape Navigator to access our Prodigy-peovided internet.
Yeah that's not how I remember the early Internet.
More like gifs everywhere, wild colours, you have to have that fancy html marquee! And terrible layouts, because aligning divs is difficult.
Good times
Those mouse cursor tracers lol
Why deal with float when you can use a table?
divs were added in the late 90's.... that is not what I'd call early internet
I mean, it may be subjective, but Internet was open to public in '93, and divs were specced in '97.
It was more of a joke anyway. The layouts were often tables long after divs if I'm not mistaken
Yeah, definitely subjective, but to me the early days of the web were before HTML 2 - so up to 1995.
And yeah, so many tables for a long time... Mostly because it was a bit messy to work with and had limitations, not to mention browser support requirements and a pretty fast moving sets of specs...
It was fun though.
don't forget autoplay video and music
Landing pages, too. Often with a corny Shockwave animation.
I think the best way to make the Internet less sh*tty is to get away from Google search.
I like the SearX search engine. It gives old-school, relevant search results, not google ranked ones.
It's also spread out over many separate instances, so you can pick the one that best suits your search needs:
I switched to DuckDuckGo a while back and even that was beneficial. I can always tell when I'm on a different machine and I forget to switch the default search... It's wild how fast they've fallen.
These days I setup ollama with open webui to host my own ai. Then you can connect Searxng to that and have the AI search the web for you and return no nonsense results.
