#22I'm excited for the day when Google finally bites the bullet and makes their biggest UI "upgrade" to date, removing the search bar and keeping pesky user input from interfering with targeted ad revenue.

#24Noticed this months ago. But what is the purpose of removing it?
Has been a slightly useful thing especially for older links to see even barebones text-only for what might have been on a site without having to go to IA Wayback Machine etc.

They're replacing sales with some AI contraption, so it makes perfect sense for them to replace their users with AI, too.

#26Noticed the other day, wasn't sure if it was specific domain or just me. Sucks still though

#27More the a few times, cached links were what saved me because the target site/page was long gone or down.
I guess this feature was too useful for their users..

#28Well Google is making more me convinced each day with my investment in kagi $10 subscription. Kagi native support for archive wayback is one of the most useful features for me.

Kagi is rad. I signed up about two months ago. yeah. I'm not comfortable using it at work, so I search on my personal phone. it works like google should (or did). It's hard to quantify. But yeah. Write your own engine (which isn't crazy) or pay someone to do it for you (my solution).
Yeah. it's worth a few bucks.
