Why tf would I want a dumb ai to try and second guess my typos?
You probably don't, but that feature may save some clueless people from getting phished.
I mistyped my bank website at an insurance office and locked down the computer. Lady had to call IT to unlock everything again. 16 year old me learned to carefully check the address bar that day.
I have a feeling people like us are no longer googles target.
I'll just stick to my lineage os device with mull browser
Of course not.
Google, the search engine, changed something in their config. Now Google apparently looks through each keyword, it's definitions, and looks specifically for those definitions. Which means if a word has many different definition, Google will probably only return the most popular one, as in the one making the most sense for most users. They could use their "advanced algorithms" to guess what the user actually means, but if they do, it does not work at all. At this point, even Bing/DuckDuckGo and Kagi are better.
I personally would avoid Kagi because it requires an account but that's just me
The account just needs your email and some password tho. The email could be an anonymous duckduckgo address too. Paying can be done via stripe, Paypal etc. and also Bitcoin.
If I could pay with Monero and it didn't require a email I would consider it
Inb4 2 years from now:
Google "fixes bug" where "Spotify.com" was autocorrected to "music.youtube.com"
Google spokesperson says "oops silly AI bugs, we will make sure it never happens again 🤞🏻"
typosquatters in shambles
I'm just waiting for the bug that redirects valid websites to the dangerous ones
Let me reframe it as something evil.
