Clickbait headline. What Google did was add a new tab for web results (only) in their search page, similar to images and news.
I do find it interesting/funny that Google felt the need to actually provide this, as a sort of acknowledgement that their main search "results" page is so full of random info boxes and generated content that people can't find actual links anymore.
Well thanks, that explains why my search suddenly went to shit last week. The web tab is all the way to the right so out of sight. I don't suppose there's a firefox extension to auto select web.. i know nothing about these things
Just use kagi. Statistically better.
Most normies will never pay for a search engine. I've tried and tried to show them the advantages of Kagi but the value just isn't there for them. I ditched Google for Kagi long ago and I couldn't be happier.
