Google Search is now dominated by spam. So I made this Chrome extension that queries Reddit in the background, summarizes results and shows them in a sidebar next to google search results. It's like having your own Perplexity! Want it? Let me know!

Thanks everyone for the response: I’m going to make it better, and then release it

Would be really really helpful. I usually do two searches in parallel - one with extra word "reddit" at the end

I kept doing that all the time, so I built this to automate doing that + summarize the results. But i could never switch to perplexity as i missed local searches on google (like "nearest dentist"), so this is best of both worlds.

I doubt it will work beyond some of the mainstream queries which you showed. Reddit <<<< World Wide Web Instead, if there's a way to suppress Google Ads, that would give the best solution.

There is a tool similar to this one. Checkout

Issue with such tools is that you never remember to go to specific websites to search different things. Google or chatgpt is a muscle memory now.

Hackernews output is crazy as it’s really vast but for Reddit results we can just go head type Reddit at the end of our google search and it will give up top outputs. Sir can you provide me the access to plugin with hackernews access?

The new Google Search is rolling out and there seems to be confusion on what it will look like. Google literally told us. Let me clarify for anyone who is still unsure of what is rolling out this week. Last month Google responded to everyone saying Search is dead. Here is what they said: "You will absolutely continue to see blue web links in search results. AI Mode is not the default experience in Search. You will continue to get a range of results on Search." [Want to know where your site stands across Google AI, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, etc? Check here (it's free): Google has explicitly laid out what Search will look like from this point going forward. The new Search box accepts text, images, files, videos, and open Chrome tabs. It anticipates your intent before you finish asking. It is powered by the most advanced Gemini model Google has ever put into Search, and layered on top of that, information agents will now be able to run 24/7 in the background on behalf of your buyer. Think of it in 5 steps: Step 1: The buyer describes their problem, their category, their needs in full. Step 2: The agent breaks that down into sub-topics and maps out a plan. Step 3: It determines what intel is needed right now versus later. Step 4: It monitors blogs, news sites, and social posts continuously for relevant changes. Step 5: It sends the buyer a synthesized update with links and the ability to take action. Blue links are not going away in the short-term, but the brands getting recommended by information agents 24 hours a day while also ranking in traditional results are going to pull so far ahead of the ones doing only one or the other that it will not be a fair fight. This is exactly what SEO Stuff ( has been building for every customer. Optimized content depth that covers every sub-question a buyer in your category asks, so the agent finds you at every step of its plan. Editorial authority from trusted websites that signals credibility to every retrieval system Google has ever built, across both traditional rankings and AI citations simultaneously. One investment. Blue links and AI citations. Around the clock. SEO Stuff's Complete Done-For-You Plan: SEO Stuff's "Optimized Content" Plan: There is a reason more than 80 percent of SEO Stuff customers reorder. The results continue long after the work is done. Google Search is changing. AI Search is here. Your websites need to prepare accordingly.

J-Cal Explains Why Google is UNDERRATED in AI 👀 On E227, the besties discussed Google's value in a post-search world if AI replaces traditional search. @jason broke down why he thinks Google is being slept on: "I think there's a chance that we're underestimating the power of Google's ad network right now." "They have four or five products that are one or two billion users per month. You have YouTube, Google Docs, Android." "They have such a data advantage and such a deep integration into people's lives because they use three or four services, I think Google's gonna figure this out." "It's quite possible that knowing your queries in Gemini, knowing what you're doing in Calendar, knowing what you're watching on YouTube could lead to a stream of more targeted ads that do better and are more valuable." "We've been seeing a number of startups that are figuring out how to use your queries and what you're doing in AI to present to you search results." "So imagine you're doing a Gemini search and on the side of it, it's giving you a rolling list of ads or offers that you might be more interested in." "That could be a better advertising product than even search itself." "I think YouTube search is the place to go all-in." "Right now, when you do a YouTube search, it just gives you 10 links, right? It just gives you that rolling thing." "You should be able to ask a question to YouTube, and you should be able to ask questions to your calendar." "You should be able to say, who have I met with over the last 10 years? Who I'm no longer in touch with and what are they up to?" "And it should do a Gemini search inside of Google Calendar. It's very light right now." "And then if you did that on YouTube, this would train people at the point of pain in a very deep way without sacrificing Google Search queries too aggressively."
