Can this many people really have missed the udm=14 trick for google? udm14.com will demonstrate for you ...
- labster 2y agoThis kind of UX reminds me of the days when you’d hear radio ads saying “Just point your browser to HTTP-colon-backslash-backslash-WWW-period …”
- PaulDavisThe1st 2y agoCalling this UX seems disingenous to me. If you want something smooth and easy that uses the google engine, visit udm14.com If you want to integrate the google engine more directly into your browser(s), understand how to use &udm=14 Two different UX's, each appropriate for a different audience.
- egypturnash 2y agoImagine you are a completely non-technical friend of yours. They are very smart but they do not know a damn thing about configuring computers. They mostly just use their phone and/or tablet. How much of "just append ?udm=14 to your search query" is absolute gibberish? Is "install the udm14 plugin" going to make any more sense? Is "go to udm14.com for all your searches" going to stick? Are there phishing sites at umd14.com, mdm41.com, uwu44.com, and all the other variants they'll probably misremember it as? "just search for 'fucking whatever' and the AI crap goes away", on the other hand, is funny, uses a common dictionary word that everyone above the age of five knows how to spell, and is intensely memorable.
- PaulDavisThe1st 2y agoThere's this thing called the internet that can help you find out how to change your default search engine. You might even get some AI suggestions to make it clearer. Yes, the "fucking" trick is awesome too.
