Gah. That new design is horribly ugly. One other thing I've always hated about Google: if you just want the URL for a page, you can't right-click on it in the search results and copy the URL -- because Google will instead give you some Google-riffic hybrid URL that first refers you through a Google address so they can capture your clickthrough. I've tried to steer most of my searching away from Google. (Of course, that's easy if you're already using a search keyword to skip the part where you go to the search engine's home page first.)

>copy the URL -- because Google will instead give you some Google-riffic hybrid URL Google no longer does that! because they switched to dedicated feature for just this very purpose :D https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_ping.asp https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_ping.asp "When the user clicks on the hyperlink, the ping attribute will send a short HTTP POST request to the specified URL. This attribute is useful for monitoring/tracking." Was introduced into HTML5 drafts as early as 2005, removed by 2010 due to obvious user spying connotations. Chrome and Safari fully support it, uBlock Origin strips it automatically (but wont be able to after manifest v3 goes thru).
