I remember when Google embedding unit conversions in search was a cute little convenience. And, uh, actually useful and accurate. This is just so embarrassing for a once-great tool.

@luis_in_brief We need to relearn/reaccustom ourselves to use other online tools. In the end, that's a good thing, we are breaking Google's monopoly ourselves.

For unit conversions, Wolfram Alpha often works well.

Using DuckDuckGo as your browser's default search engine, you can use "!wolfram" and type stuff like "6 km/h in miles/second !wolfram"

@hisham_hm oh, interesting re DDG - I do actually use that as my default in most places; didn’t know it had a Wolfram bridge.
