Imagine if you could still Google an error message and get relevant results. This comic is already like three years out of date.
How to fix error 404
We've all been there. Browsing the web or scrolling the reels when you see it. The dreaded 404 error. Luckily there are 10 easy steps you can take to diagnose the problem...
The urge to downvote is strong. i must remember it is satirical.
No /s. Down with the votes
on the other side of that coin is that I've gotten a lot more active on the relevant forums and that's helped me meet some pretty cool people
So the chances of Google ever fixing that is low, but maybe some replies here can help you find alternatives (atleast according to the chart)? I hate it so much, I use to be able to learn and fix anything, I feel like the internet has been stolen from me.
i'm sure it's not as good as google used to be, but i've been using duckduckgo for years now and i've never related to the problems people have with google.
If i don't find answers to my searches it very much feels like the answer just doesn't exist, or can't reasonably be found by a search engine.
