Someone should make a list of all the little tricks you can use on Google, or any other site for that matter.

I wonder if searching for "onScroll" in 10 years will trigger a similar easter egg.

People will probably still be using mice for input. It won't be all swiping by 2014. The nice thing about a mouse is that it requires very little effort. It takes a lot more muscle movement to perform a swipe.

That depends. For scrolling, yes. For moving the cursor, I find I need a lot less muscle use on my trackpad than my mouse.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%3Cblink%3E I wasn't really expecting an easter egg, but was surprised to not find a single result about html. Does it strip any non alphabetic character?

I did a \ trying to see what DDG would do, and it keeps sending me to some blinkfitness.com website. Anyone know what action backslashes add?

a search for ("blink") does not return any result, however a search for (blink tag) does return very good results.

Funny. But my favorite is still "do a barrel roll": https://google.com/search?q=do+a+barrel+roll

Works on a phone too. "ok google, do a barrel roll".

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You are either too young or not a web developer :D https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/bl...

I'm guessing, "too young". "Eeh...back in my day, it were blink and marquee tags as far as the eye could see. We were doing web development for below minimum wage back then you see, and every hour, our cruel overlords would drag us out of the basements in which we worked and beat us. CSS?! HTML Tables it was in MY day lad!! Didn't 'ave none of this fancy styling business. We were at the HTML coal face then, yer see!…

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Marquee tags on fire off the shoulder of Geocities. I watched blink tags glitter in the dark near Tannhäuser.com. All those websites will be lost in time, like tears in rain...
