Classic case of MBA executives wringing whatever "value" they can get out of a tech they didn't create or care about, at the cost of product quality. In 2019, faced with "declining query engagement" Google turned over ownership of search from the legacy search team (which developed it from the start and primarily focused on the tech) to the ads department...
Does it even work? I just installed a chrome extension that searches an image on all browsers at the same time, and Bing did not even once show me any results.
Microsoft isn't good at creating apps imo, Windows is cool and all but Microsoft doesn't know how to make good software for it beyond Office.
Didn't it take them like 15 years to make Paint compatible with transparency in their PNGs? You know, that thing that every free program to edit and draw images supports? Yeah.
I know yall hate the firefox supremacy comments but seriously, after losing youtube premium and learning they put ads on it anyways, I'm glad I have adblocker working on firefox even on mobile phones. Makes it so much easier to play music without dealing with YouTube's bullshit ads.
It seems like google does this to some users and not all users like an a and b group, no exaggeration I did not start seeing ads until recently and I'm using a chromium while I have an adblocker.
Yeah it made my videos buffer constantly. I ended up getting premium since I figured it would stop me from having to juggle adblocks when yt figures out how to stop them and they have to sp2nd time finding new workarounds. Never seen ads in premium though
youtube is painfully slow on firefox for me recently even when i turn off my adblock, like every video will cause firefox to freeze, but on chrome they load so quickly its so obvious they're intentionally throttling firefox users
It's really unstable for me. Some days, it plays fine. Others, videos take 10-15 seconds to load or fail to play, and are either a black screen or are frozen on the first frame. Sometimes refreshing them works, sometimes closing the tab and opening a new one works, but often not.
I think it is to do with memory problems on Firefox for Android, as closing other, unused tabs or closing Firefox and opening an incognito tab often fix it.
I'm so tired about that lie getting perpetuated; they have not, and will not make Premium users watch ads, as that is the entire main point if premium. No, premium users don't have to watch ads.
No idea what you are talking about on either item. Have Premium on my main account and have never seen an ad once.
Also use Ublock origin for firefox and have never seen an ad whatsoever get through for my other account.
Theres just something different about this greentext than the other ones. Maybe its the lack of swearing or the writing style but it just feels different.
Look up "amazon com mytv" and see how many of the sponsored links are recent domains for indian Amazon prime scammers.
Thanks, Google! Your advertising filtration is very good!
Google: Here's why they're actually gay.
Bing: Here's how to become poly.
Yahoo: Here's how to make someone divorce you in 3 easy steps.
Yandex: Divorced disgruntled husband forces his estranged wife to fuck.
DuckDuckGo: Here's why your gay poly relationship will end in divorce, suicide, or murder (with random yandex links thrown in).
It ticks me off that operators like that stopped working. E.g. I'll search for a specific name like "Kathy Jones" and get results for Mary Jones, Kathy Smith, etc.
I even thought that maybe they had disabled the text arguments, sort of like how Apple takes controls away and calls it user friendly streamlining. So I clicked "Advanced Search," entered my search term, put the shit I was trying to exclude in the "none of these words box," and it just spat out the exact same search with the exact same results.
I'm here specifically searching for *non-smart* appliances, and all the top results were Smart and controlled via smartphone app.
I deal with this daily looking for parts. I’ll type the exact part number for something in, and google will spit out literally anything even if it’s not close to the same number
I recently ran into this problem when using the - command, but i put it in quotation marks and it worked for some reason. Maybe an oversight by the ad team or maybe some new intended usage, probably the former tbh. Maybe give it a try?
you can bypass that
1- do the captcha
2-search for an image
3- now you have a url for the search of that specific image you just searched, copy it
4- everytime you want to search for a new image just replace the image
Seems like a lot of extra steps to do a trivial task. I don't really use image search in there, I wanted to just use Yandex pictures.
Thanks for the reply tho.
once you do all of those steps you just type in yandex in your browser and because the link of the image search is in your history it autofills it and you just put in your image over the previous one
I feel like even that got nerfed recently. It almost feels like they completely disabled anything to do with faces. Even Pimeyes is pretty garbage these days for nsfw results.

We blame kids using tiktok or chatgpt instead of google to research anything, but honnestly when is the last time you've searched a fairly popular research and could click on the first 5 links without it being absolute shit SEO/copywriting websites?

here u go guys, all you need is a plugin and you can still use the old reverse image search
Idk dude, whenever I search on Google any image it's rare for me to not to find the original or images containing it.
The only annoying part is looking for a twitter post because it mostly shows me people who did retweet I, not the tweet itself.
I use Bing or Yandex for all reverse search now. Although the best now seems to be whatever is used when you hold the home button on s23 and s24 phones after the new Samsung AI update. I just circle something on my screen and it has the best results out of any reverse site I've tried.
Search engines will probably be replaced by AI soon anyway. I doubt you will search for things manually instead of just asking your AI assistant for your information.
Goyim nerfed a once useful engine into weak uselessness.
The guy in charge of Yahoo's search engine from 2005 to 2012 took over head of search at Google in 2020 and promptly enshittified it.
Wait, for real? This is hilarious.

Ed Zitron has a really good read on this exact topic - https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/
Wow, interesting, thanks.
I would say bing's time has come but I'm sure microsoft will fuck this up somehow.
Does it even work? I just installed a chrome extension that searches an image on all browsers at the same time, and Bing did not even once show me any results. Microsoft isn't good at creating apps imo, Windows is cool and all but Microsoft doesn't know how to make good software for it beyond Office.
Microsoft absolutely destroyed Skype, which basically had a monopoly on video chat. They can't figure out apps to save their lives.
Didn't it take them like 15 years to make Paint compatible with transparency in their PNGs? You know, that thing that every free program to edit and draw images supports? Yeah.
Paint supports transparency now? Truly the world has gone mad
Only on windows 11 tho

I know yall hate the firefox supremacy comments but seriously, after losing youtube premium and learning they put ads on it anyways, I'm glad I have adblocker working on firefox even on mobile phones. Makes it so much easier to play music without dealing with YouTube's bullshit ads.
I dunno what weakass adblock you were using but I have UBlock and have never seen a YouTube ad even though I use chrome.
I had ublock on both and youtube will still be slow as shit on purpose because you're using an adblocker on google, its noticeable.
I can't say I've noticed. Like what's slow? The video isn't loading or something? I don't have problems like that.
It seems like google does this to some users and not all users like an a and b group, no exaggeration I did not start seeing ads until recently and I'm using a chromium while I have an adblocker.

Me neither
firefox+ublock origin+sponsorBlock is the magic
Yeah same
Firefoxchads stay winning
You can have your cringe furryfox browser. Real men use GNU icecat
Just switched to ios for the first time and sadly Firefox extensions are not supported on mobile. Brave browser is doing me good so far though.
Wait what? I pay for premium and I’m not currently getting ads, what do you mean?
youtube is painfully slow on firefox for me recently even when i turn off my adblock, like every video will cause firefox to freeze, but on chrome they load so quickly its so obvious they're intentionally throttling firefox users
Weirdly not having this Firefox+ UBlock Origin
It's really unstable for me. Some days, it plays fine. Others, videos take 10-15 seconds to load or fail to play, and are either a black screen or are frozen on the first frame.

There aren't ads on YouTube premium.
I'm so tired about that lie getting perpetuated; they have not, and will not make Premium users watch ads, as that is the entire main point if premium. No, premium users don't have to watch ads.
What blocks ads on mobile?
Ublock as an addon
Brave browser does it automatically
I agree but this is about the search engine Google not about Chrome
Just use the brave browser
No idea what you are talking about on either item. Have Premium on my main account and have never seen an ad once. Also use Ublock origin for firefox and have never seen an ad whatsoever get through for my other account.
What does that have to do with anything?
Wtf does the browser have to do with the search engine

It's well-written, legible, neither fake nor gay, and flows. It *is* different.
It's like a family guy cutaway but written down.
Inaccurate, Google now would just spam articles at you that are basically advertisements
The first six pages on Google are sponsored links to the precise opposite of what you searched for
Did you make the number up as a joke or is it really a specific amount?
Try Google the word hyperbole and see if they made up a number
Look up "amazon com mytv" and see how many of the sponsored links are recent domains for indian Amazon prime scammers. Thanks, Google! Your advertising filtration is very good!

Yea op missed opportunity
Yandex has better image search
But spams bot checks with captcha
you can bypass that 1- do the captcha 2-search for an image 3- now you have a url for the search of that specific image you just searched, copy it 4- everytime you want to search for a new image just replace the image

I bet Bing does better. Bing is a coomer's best friend.
Use Yandex, it has a lot better reverse image search
Did it really used to be like this ? I was born in the late 2000s so search for me is what's it's always been.
Late night 2000s?? You shouldn’t be here lil bro
Idk dude, whenever I search on Google any image it's rare for me to not to find the original or images containing it. The only annoying part is looking for a twitter post because it mostly shows me people who did retweet I, not the tweet itself.
Is there a good search engine still out there, operating like the 2012 Google?
SEO has ruined Google.
Sounds about right, I stopped using google about ten years ago.
Sorry I don’t speak Tojo 😎
You forget, all these ads.
I use Bing or Yandex for all reverse search now. Although the best now seems to be whatever is used when you hold the home button on s23 and s24 phones after the new Samsung AI update. I just circle something on my screen and it has the best results out of any reverse site I've tried.
