Traffic / Re: How to block Google's annoying AI overviews and just get search results

Debbie: Dark pattern.
from the Ars Technica article posted:
"The power-user way to use Google Search web now takes a lot of clicks. You'd want to click on "more" and then "Web" for actual web results, and then to get Google to actually pay attention to the words you type in, you'd want to click "Tools" and change "all results" to "verbatim." Alternatively, you could also find a more web-focused search engine instead of Google."
>3. Gov't anti-trust regulation
Somehow, I think this shift is in preparation for the inevitable US anti-trust regulation. EU has already started tightening the screws on tracking.

Marketing / Re: FCC: BIG changes for US Lead Generation sites.
« on: May 14, 2024, 06:45:13 PM »
I was an early-early adopter of Ooma VOIP for the house. Louise was an early user of Google Voice forwarding to her cell phone for real estate business. Both do some screening. A couple of years after starting with these separate services, Ooma came up with a way to 'white label' your Ooma service with your G Voice number --so the Gvoice number now rings both the house and her phone. And out-going calls from her cell phone show her GVoice number on the recipient's phone, so they don't add her direct cell number to their contacts.
I think the double-screening must filter out most of them, as we get about 4 or 5 a week. I also have call logs on the Ooma service and can review and block numbers.

If we keep messing around with G5s your app -and much, much more- might not be working.
