    “Normal people”, as in 99% of people, will not bother editing the URL… most of them don’t even know what a URL is. They’ll just keep using whatever search window they get in their “internet” (browser).

    However, Google would rather scrapers and people with ad blockers not make them waste money on AI when they can’t recoup them.

      That’s what’s really confusing me: why add an expensive feature, that obviously doesn’t work and even in the best case adds only minor improvements?

      I mean, it’s not another option like with Bing. It’s the default. Every stupid little search will take up AI resources. For what? Market cap?
