Google search sucks now.
What once felt like a magic trick now feels like a laborious chore.
A new website will let you bypass the pizza-glue-loving AI answers at least.
They werent hard to do but involved digging around in controls and re-directing some websites.
The most powerful method was adding &udm=14 to the search URL.
But why do all that when you could just visit a website?
Say hello toudm14.com, the disenshittification Konami code.
The site is the brainchild of programmer and Tedium blog runner Ernie Smith.
He said it took him about an hour to put together and hes thrown the code up onGitHub.
Its important to note whatudm14.comdoes and doesnt do.
Google search as we knew it in 2002 is dead.
We now live in the world of SEO-optimized garbage and AI slop.
The whole internet has been reshaped by everyones quest to be noticed by Google.
But Reddit is falling prey to the same problems that every other website has.
Your last best hope might be paying for search.
If you havent used Kagi yet, it does a lot tobring backthe old magic of Google search.
Using Kagi is an absolute joy, but theres a catch.
The first 100 searches are free.
After that, youre paying for a subscription.
Yes, its worth it.
But if you arent quite convinced that search is worth paying for yet.
Well, theres always udm14.com.
Correction:A previous version of this post listed an incorrect URL for Smiths site.
We regret the error.
