That would be a web without Google, and in fact any search engine at all. Do you really want to go back to 1990 level of functionality?
- ghusto 5y agoA thousand times yes, but again, I know that's not something that's possible. What I'm objecting to is it not being possible for even the old farts like me who want it. Google and co.'s contributions to things like e-mail and websites have made it more and more unfeasible to self-host and manage these services. It's a bit like how you're _technically_ free to farm your own food, only not really because you can't comply with the regulations surrounding growing crops (no I'm not kidding, Google and gasp).
