'Visibly cringe' sources

For the sentence 'This revelation reportedly caused Google's lead attorney to cringe visibly.[citation needed]', I suggest the following two sources to back the claim:

https://www.businessinsider.com/google-lawyer-cringed-court-confidential-apple-payment-ad-revenue-report-2023-11

https://fortune.com/2023/11/14/google-lawyer-cringes-in-court-antitrust-john-schmidtlein-apple-36-percent-search-advertising/

I cannot edit the page, hence I started this topic. PS Halper (talk) 15:27, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

in the summary, global visits data is for google.com, so taht should be mentioned, or else data should be the sum across all domains, not just .com 46.164.50.89 (talk) 17:31, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

hm, I guess google.com is the global domain, but then I'm confused why USA leads traffic by so much 46.164.50.89 (talk) 17:36, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Splitting proposal

I propose that the section about AI mode be split into a separate page called AI Mode or Google AI Mode. Considering that we already have a page about AI Overviews for Google, I think AI Mode will likely be the next big thing when it comes to AI. Please let me know what you think.

How is that different than the existing page over at AI Overviews? LogicTrace (talk) 05:11, 13 September 2025 (UTC)
Support, or possibly merge to Hell as a subtopic. Cremastra (talk · contribs) 20:51, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
Bener itu AI-MODE di google harus di pisah/kalau perlu jadi aplikasi PWA akan lebih praktis dan yang terpenting aman, yang mana keamanannya harus "high priority only". Terimakasih by rtea ~2025-42784-21 (talk) 14:43, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Support. Good idea especially given all the coverage about it. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 13:48, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

I split the page. Anyone is welcome to contribute to the page. Interstellarity (talk) 22:41, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Topic notification

Section 'Proposed merge of Criticism of Google into Google' not found

Smartphone apps - Search Name?

The article mentions "Google Search" for the proprietary software which typically prompts for a search string upon activation from an Android desktop. No doubt the same for IOS. Googling (or alternative SE) doesn't reveal too much about the versioning of this piece of software other than a light weight WebView based rendering system with a few extras included.

Other names or references include the word "Google" followed by any of the words "search box", "search bar", "search (bar) widget", widget, "browser" or "app". The last seems to be the one most used. Lmstearn (talk) 12:00, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Multiple problems

This article has more than one claim that needs updating and a section that doesn't have any sources. Could a multiple issues tag be added? A Wondrous Raven (talk) 20:37, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
