SEO has essentially destroyed search engines, what are some very useful websites that you might not get given by Google?

    The first and foremost thing that comes to mind is the wayback machine. It lets you archive and immortalize any moment in a website’s history.

    Though I may be cheating a little here because it’s actually a toolbar, another obscure, highly useful “website” is the Hypothesis toolbar. It adds a comment section to any webpage merely by existing.

      Do the comments come from only other Hypothesis users?

        On Hypothesis, only someone else logged into Hypothesis can comment, if that’s what you mean. If you notice someone on there with the name ThisInstrumentalBreak, that’s me (you may notice me having used it to comment on this thread).
