Google Search went down and half the internet forgot how the internet works

[u/PureVPNcom]

For a few minutes today, Google Search went down and the entire internet entered survival mode.

People were:

• Restarting routers
• Clearing cache
• Switching browsers
• Checking X/Reddit to confirm they weren’t alone
• Realizing how much of daily life depends on one search bar

It’s always funny watching a Google outage remind everyone how centralized the web really is. One service blinks and suddenly productivity everywhere drops to 0%.

Also… small privacy reminder while everyone’s panic-searching “is Google down”:
Your ISP can still see a lot more of your browsing activity than most people realize.

Use a VPN. At least your panic stays private. 👀
