Robert Macy wrote in news:f9f101dc-eb69-4b4c-8cdf- : Your earlier phrase about a cranky aunt that's painful to see is EXACTLY correct. What used to be the fastest easiest experience on the net has turned into a total grind. Actually dread having to search for anything now. *I'd rather read the bibliographies at the end of papers. Exactly so! I was thinking that. Wikipedia, for example. The external links and references are WAY better than Google at this. If they can do it without getting paid by advertising, why can't Google do it WITH all that money? Even google's old ads I did not mind. Actually appreciated finding a few suppliers listed off to the side, out of the way, but easy to read. Went there and found what I needed, so was a win-win. *if* a focused search follows what I'm doing and supplies me with potential suppliers, I don't mind. But even some number of those ads yields dead URLs ?! |

I saw a save-settings bug once. I can't remember how I solved it, but it was possible locally. I'm sure clearing cookies had something to do with it. I think there was more to it though, and that's the bit I forget. I only keep around 30 cookies, containing log in information/history of importance But I could purge ALL of google's cookies and start over just to see, thanks for the suggestion. |
