Yeah, there was that brief period, maybe 4-6 years where each release had at least something exciting. I guess they’ve just run out of genuinely useful/innovative stuff to add.

Partly it’s aesthetic - it takes up so much room!
Partly it’s preferential - I’m not keen on machine generated answers being prioritised over actual sources.
Mainly though it’s because when I do a search, I usually know what website I expect/want to get to, and just want that available to click immediately.
True. But you could adopt.
Seconding Hermit, it’s a really useful tool for websites you visit often enough to wish they had an app.
I mostly use it for a football ⚽ forum I’m on, and it’s a better experience than opening my browser and going to the site each time, as there are some degrees of customisation of the experience.
I’m not asking for anything. This isn’t a support request. I found something I find useful and wanted to share it. That’s all.
Ugh.
Can you tap outside the popup to make it go away? Or maybe swipe it down? Agree that Back should be enough, how annoying!
a lifetime of always fighting google
I think that might just be verging on hyperbole, no?
I never said it fixed anything in the long run. It allows me (and probably others) to do things the way I want to do them. If it doesn’t apply to everyone, that’s ok.
Apparently so. Oh well, the info will still hopefully help people who’re fine with their choices :-)
That’s fair enough - as long as users have options then all good as far as I’m concerned :-)
This is like those 20 minute videos for a problem that can be fixed in 20 sec
Hence my TLDR. It’s a 6-point bullet list (and the last one is optional).
Maybe I should have put that last line up the top instead…
is really does make more sense to just use Firefox and DDG
I take the point - but it doesn’t make sense if you still prefer Chrome/Google to those overall and just want to change one aspect of it. This is just a way to improve the experience for people who are mostly happy with what they use and not interested in changing from it. It’s great that we as users have that choice, that’s how it should be.
Feel like I covered that at the bottom.
Thanks for the advice - writing scripts is a bit outside my wheelhouse, but hell, maybe I’ve just never had a reason to learn, if someone hasn’t already. Much appreciated, cheers 👍
Cool, thanks. I already use Power Toys, and had hoped it might have something, but sadly not.
Will check out those other two though, thanks a lot 👍
I guess you could ask the question of someone (line manager most likely) - "Hey I saw that all these appointments are in working hours - does that mean I’m meant to take them during work time? How does it work?” - ie just play innocent and at least get clarity from them on what they understand it to mean.
In writing, ideally!
Oh yeah, I agree with all that!
