Google Search adds a “web” filter, because it is no longer focused on web results (arstechnica.com)

I just tried it, and yes, “Web” was buried in the “More” drop-down 🤡

Apparently udm=14 is what sends you to the web filter. Here's How to Declutter Your Google Search Results (And Make It Your Default)

It's critical you include the &udm=14 part at the end. That's not junk code, it's what tells Google to send you straight to the web view.

I'd rather continue not using Google.

When I first started using DDG I would use the bang to get me back into google very often. Now whenever I use a browser or device (mis)configured to use google I feel like a guy who accidentally launched and tried to use IE8.

I was able to add the custom search option with Firefox beta for android but the "web" filter isn't available to me yet.
