I'm not surprised to see w3schools.com up there. I haven't come across it recently because of shifts in what I do, but it used to come up so often when I was looking for coding documentation. It was almost always useless.
- lucgommans 2y agoIf only it was merely useless. I know its reputation but it had some information that MDN did not have, so I used it this once in recent years. Turned out, the information was simply wrong and so I made a wrong decision based on that. (It might have been about favicon format support in different browsers. Presumably it was Safari that never had support for vector graphics whereas w3schools listed it as such, and it's not like you can just download Safari to double check.) Regardless, what I'm sure about is that I alerted them to whatever the problem was, but for me it was the last nail in that coffin

- stevage 2y agoOh yeah, I always had that plugin that removed it from Google results. What trash.
- MathMonkeyMan 2y agoIt's better than it used to be, but I've long since had muscle memory for appending "mdn" to any webdevy or javascripty search. I wish geeksforgeeks would die in a fire, no offense to its operators.
