Recently learned that [Wayback/Archive] geocities – Google Search works just like [Wayback/Archive] comic sans – Google Search (:
Via [Wayback/Archive] if you search up old web hosting site geocities, everything turns into comic sans (you can also search up “comic sans”) : google

It looks like I missed that Google has added a new URL parameter to its search engine quite a while ago.
In the past, you could turn on image search using the tbm=isch URL parameter (“to be matched” and “image search”).
That still works, but there is a new parameter on the block that is officially undocumented, and can be used to switch into various search modes including image search but also AI-less search.
This drastically lowers the carbon footprint and also gets you far less speculative information.
Edit 20251023: I forgot to save the below part before the scheduled post got published. So here we go

A lot of people publish unattributed copies of the cartoon “Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.”, so I tried finding it back.
I found out that the Google Image Search has deteriorated to the point where it could not find the 2012 original.
Luckily [Wayback/Archive] Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders. – Google Suche did find the original.
So, without further ado, these are links, the original cartoons by [Wayback/Archive] Tom Toro, first published in The New Yorker:

Need to figure out where the ArchiveTeam will be uploading the below archive, as this will help me figure out which links in post blogs I will need to update.
Also, Google never got back to me with an answer what to do with various map and image related shortened URLs for which they themselves also use the goo.gl domain.
[Wayback/Archive] ArchiveTeam has finished archiving all goo.gl short links – hckrnws

Trying to trim down excessive CPU usage of my web browsers, and lessen the risk of intrusion, I experimented with globally disabling JavaScript and only enabling it on sites where it adds value to me.
That is possible (see below), but immediately showed a big side effect: Bookmarklets will not work on sites that have JavaScript disabled.
Disabling JavaScript globally only allows Bookmarklets on sites where you have enabled JavaScript. Not the situation I hoped for (:
I’ll try it for a while though.

The delete trick below not just works for the Chrome Omnibox, but for any autocomplete list in Chrome.
[Wayback/Archive] How to remove an entry from Chrome’s Remembered URLs from the url bar? – Super User (thanks [Wayback/Archive] cmcculloh, [Wayback/Archive] Gaff and [Wayback/Archive] User 张 源 – Super User):
Q
I’ve got a URL in Chrome “local.mysite.com” that autopopulates when I start typing “local.my” into the URL bar.Note that this URL DOES NOT EXIST in my browser history (at chrome://history/#e=1&p=0) because it isn’t a real site and therefore couldn’t ever be successfully visited and therefore never shows up in my history.
