This discussion is about search results pages with JavaScript enabled.
>And btw about the result filtering the uBlock dev wants to do
For a long time, uBlock Origin has kept up with blocking Google's click tracking out of the box with the default Privacy filter list (privacy.txt).
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/filters/...
This means that all uBlock Origin users (even people with no Google account) would NOT be click-tracked, WITH JavaScript enabled.
You say "They own the JS on the page", so the topic of discussion here is simply whether users could block click tracking on the client side.
And until now, they could have: by installing uBlock Origin or any content blocker with a sane privacy list.
Now, they cannot.
Linked below is an explanation which includes confirmation of that fact by a member of the uBlock Origin team.
A uBlock Origin developer now confirms, regarding Google results click tracking:
It existed in a way or another, but it could be blocked. Now it can't.

Next time, please consider listening to people who know how the web works and avoid overconfidently parroting what Big Tech gatekeepers want you to think.
Thanks!
Are they, though? Or are you just parroting the meme?
(The last I recall, Gargron's position was essentially "build your own third-party frontend if you want noJS".)

What—do—you—think————is this human?
>This argument can probably be leveled at vanilla raw output from an LLM, but even the slightest attempt at obfuscation bears solid fruit
Whoops, disproven by bcantrill's comment:

Let's talk about the detection ability of corporate normies instead:
>pretty much everything “product” in corporate America is now LLM generated with some marginal oversight. It passes muster for the most part.
Goalposts: moved.
