Mozilla Firefox - Tumblr Posts

1 year ago

works in India. I added it to my firfox webbrowser on phone. This is how you do it:

Open your firfox and press the three buttons. Go to settings. There, in general you got the search option and within that your default search engine is selected, Google, Bing Yahoo whatever.

Within that, what you do now is, add the new search engine udm14. While adding a new search engine it gonna ask you a name for the search engine (udm14) + what is the search engine website url when you do search something. Add the following to the url part: (https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14) and you're all set!

Select udm14 now as your default browser and you're good to go!

Google de-shitification

Do you use Google? Do you want to search without the always-wrong AI inserting itself and fucking over your search results?

https://udm14.com/

This is an easy way to add &udm=14 to your Google query, which will remove the AI and also put it very much like it would have been back when it actually did not suck.

Note that it just submits to Google with &udm=14 at the end of the URL. If you know how to edit URL's, you can just add it yourself and it should have the same effect.

Doesn't work in all regions, for all users, etc. but it worked for me.

On having opinions about your browser

My mom uses Firefox and my dad uses Chrome and they're both very opinionated on their browser of choice.

What’s really amusing about this is that the only reason my mom uses Firefox because is because I installed it on her computer many years ago, before Chrome existed. The only reason my dad uses Chrome is because when he finally got his first laptop, I was using Chrome at the time and so I installed Chrome on his computer.

So really, they're only opinionated about their browsers because at some point in the past I was the one who was opinionated about Firefox, and then later on I was the one who was opinionated on Chrome!
