mozz ( @mozz@mbin.grits.dev ) 13•1 month agoOne way to edit the search URL is a proxy site like udm14.com, which is probably the biggest site out there popularizing this technique.
When people are making their own entire web sites to make it possible for third parties to adapt around UX issues of your web site (not just a handful, but enough people that there’s one of those sites that’s identifiable as “the biggest”), you have lost the plot.

Google can easily change that parameter on their end and not affect their own site. They could randomize it every few minutes and not miss a best.
