x10 Google engineer designs client. intuitive, elegant, does the job.

We use it. We are happy. Works great.

They hand it over to their hundred strong team of type-obsessed morons, client is now an over-engineered brittle clusterfuck so bad it forces us to rethink.

You broke userspace dipshits!

Or even worse is it actually written by the noob dev now?

This seems to work to get rid of the Gemini AI bullshit button from Gmail.

Anything to get rid of the AI search from the URL bar?

Google search recently stopped working with lynx. Dammit. Text-only was a really efficient way of searching for some types of info.

This is what is going to make me finally switch search provider.

holy shit, how CRAZY, when I change my user agent on #Firefox to #chrome, all the sudden youTube videos stop buffering and load a LOT faster. That's totally normal and not at all indicative of blatant antitrust tactics.

I am finally in Spain and I installed Molly(Signal fork) in the android phone. What it really piss me off it's fucking Xiaomi killing the apps. I followed many tutorials to avoid that but nothing seems to work. So sometimes I even don't get the notifications. I still research if there is a way to solve the issue. I really want the Pinephone to be my daily driver phone.

Any website I visited manage cookies and you have the option to configure the way you don't want ads or "better experience". Then I used Google from Duckduckgo and I got this message. I clicked "see more" and Google just make it difficult to custom your cookies and make you to accept it's fucking policies. Fortunately I remembered that Startpage exist and I could search what I wanted. #FuckingGoogle

@jrballesteros05 probably not ur case but just wanted to share a similar #fuckingGoogle moment. A lot of the time I can skip recaptcha or a site just starts working again when I just switch the user agent to Chrome. That's it. I'm still using Privacy Browser, but just by switching the user agent, stuff works and is more conveient. Evil stuff.

This kind of things only happens to me in Google on Librewolf (Firefox fork) with protections. I allowed the cookies, I allowed the JS but I don't know what else could be. I also realized that Re-Captcha is much more aggressive when I do it from Librewolf. I don't know but I think Librewolf must be doing a great job about protecting privacy that Google does not like. BTW I use Gmail because the company email is there. #FuckingGoogle.
