Until Google realizes normal.people would rather use this than take part in their AI search, and block usage of it outside of businesses.
“Normal people”, as in 99% of people, will not bother editing the URL… most of them don’t even know what a URL is. They’ll just keep using whatever search window they get in their “internet” (browser).
However, Google would rather scrapers and people with ad blockers not make them waste money on AI when they can’t recoup them.
Honestly. People moved to Google back in the day. If a search engine gets enough traction for being superior, the adoption will start. Slowly first, but it worked before. I see no reason why it wouldn’t happen again.
