Who made this?
Since they’re talking about JQuery, I think that knowledge is lost to time.

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.
Yeah but you get it all 1000 times faster and mum can still use the phone at the same time
I think they forgot to mention ads
Apart from usual ubo, reader mode and friends trained eyes are very effective content filter. We all can glance on a search result page or an article and immediately know if it’s content or low effort craps.
Stay out of mainstream social media, stop consuming ‘feeds’. Stay in the realms of personal sites, blogs and sane link aggregators/rss to keep mental peace of not having to filter garbage with eyes everyday.
Missed the half-dozen boilerplate SEO sites that scraped the most generic and unhelpful information possible that feature links to whatever barely tangential software or product they might be selling.
For what is worth, I have yet to see a temu ad
And politically biased content… fuck you Reddit
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.
Don’t forget cookie settings notifications and a pop up asking for you to subscribe to an email newsletter.
Ok boomer
Why aren’t you using ublock origin like a rational adult?
Also:
Endless redirects that attempt to keep you on the site when you want to nope right out and click the back button
It is always the Microsoft Help Center/Community answers
Trying the back button to get out of an ad infestation? You get a new ad! Trying again? Believe or not, straight to another ad!
Idk about chrome but ok Firefox you can right click to go backer
Can we please not destroy the word algorithm? It’s such a nice word…
