I would be pissed with Google’s new fake search if I was WebAIM. It directly sources WebAIM (from an old survey), but it doesn’t link to the WebAIM survey results it cites. Instead it links to BoIA (an #AudioEye#overlay company) and Assistiv Labs.
The option to see web results is buried in the “More” kebab, and even then the link is third from last.
Reminder not to use Google to search (in case you still do).
@aardrian What search engine would you recommend instead of Google?
I tried using Duckduckgo for a while but found the results hilariously bad. Then tried Startpage which sources from Google instead of Bing which did provide great search results but is instead really slow (at least in Sweden TTFB on the static startpage can be over 2 seconds). So now I'm back to Google :/
Maybe a browser extension pops up that always picks the more>web filter so one can continue to use Google?
@patrick_h_lauke I had heard of other cases where one company was cited but competitors were linked instead. Was surprised to stumble across it on my first use.
