    Never mind kids, I’ve largely started asking Claude any nontrivial questions that I used to Google. It’s night and day the difference.

      Yes if you search anything in Google, you typically get sites that have a cookie panel, ask to allow notifications, show "Login With Google" popover taking the keyboard focus, and lot of ads before you can even read the content. No wonder people do not want to use Google anymore.

        To be honest, that's the fault of the websites themselves. Google is just an amplifier of a world web wide problem.

          I think we can blame google for the login with google prompts given they provide an SDK for that exact use case.
