Google says it has begun requiring users to turn on JavaScript in order to use Google Search, possibly in an effort to block certain SEO tools.

    Luckily, as of today I can still set my user agent to something like a Playstation or ancient firefox/IE to get a lightweight HTML-based page. The results are in www.google.com/url?q= format but I can use a redirector extension for that.

      Better abandon google search for something else at this point. Even if alternative search engine calls bing and google, at least they take this BS out of the way

            Startpage, it’s an alternative search. But it’s not without its own problems.
