While there are some essential Google services I will never part with, switching my browser from Chrome has been a priority.

Here We Go is the non-Google map app I didn’t know I needed

Nathan Drescher / Android Authority Earlier this year, I started to become concerned about how much of my personal life was tied to the big tech companies, especially my Google account. And Google Maps was one of the biggest culprits. It had steadily changed from a clean and dependable navigation tool to a cluttered mess filled with ads. Worse, it sat at the heart of Google’s ecosystem and I knew I had to find a real alternative. I wanted something different. I went looking for a navigation ap

My Favorite Pixel 10 Feature Makes MagSafe Accessories Last Longer Than Ever

I admit: I'm a fan of magnetic phone accessories that add new features and style to my phone. One of my first Android phones was 2017's Moto Z2 Play. It was from a series of Moto Z phones that touted magnetic accessories called Moto Mods, which included decorative shells, battery packs and -- my favorite -- a JBL speaker attachment that helped boost the audio for music. Moto Mods didn't continue past 2019's Moto Z4. Now here's the good news: The magnetic accessories developed for Apple's iPhon

How to Stop Google from AI-Summarising Your Website

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-25 02:28:35

Google has introduced AI-generated summaries in its search results—known as AI Overviews—which often pull your content into a snippet that may generate traffic away from your site. While it seems like a "feature," these summaries force site owners into a no-win choice between giving up control or visibility—arguably a dark pattern tactic by Google. To make matters worse, while there are regulatory investigations underway in the EU and UK striving to hold Google accountable, there’s still no goo
