A basic advice to people that want to become good web developers is to use a search engine that lets you block specific sites, and to block that fucking piece of shit w3schools is.
The only skill w3schools will sharpen is your copy pasting skills.
It doesn't explain anything, it's just the code.
I would understand a beginner being in a hurry and needing some code reference, but that should be just the initial stage for a dev.
For real reference for web stuff, you should read it straight from the people that design it, the developer.mozilla.org pages. It's embarassing that they only show up after w3schools. -
@C0D4 thank you, google ads are now removed. The search results are still shit, naturally...
-
@jesustricks I can't help the result issue, but an ad free life is a start
-
@C0D4 it is... I would have expected adblock to already do that (it's on as you can see in the image), but I guess it considers google ads valid? I dunno
-
@jesustricks some of the blockers are paid .. err "sponsored" to keep ads coming in regardless.
You can edit the filter list in the settings and add/remove as much as you want. -
@C0D4 holy shit, that is fucked up...
-
@jesustricks don't agree on the w3schools part for html, css, JavaScript reference it's quite good.

How to vertically center in css..
Thanks for the suggestion Google.
Google search can get fucked in the ass.
Greedy fucking bastards deceptively including ads as normal results.
It used to be just one, but I've seen crazy shit, like 4 ads in one search results. FOUR.
And it's not just the ads. It's all the fucking litter that they put above the results.
I'm talking about all this fucking Google Maps and web cards bullshit.
It takes too much goddamned space, and most of the times I DO NOT GIVE SHITS ABOUT THEM.
And if you want to hide that shit, guess what, you gotta go into the settings. How about you include a fucking corner X that I can click so I can hide immediately hide that shit when I want to?
Now, let's analyze the unholy mess that the image I included is:
The search I did is a simple "html form". Notice that the fucking Adblock is turned ON, yet I still get a "chameleon" ad.
The first real result is from w3schools that also expands on two also hideous things: sitelinks.
Sitelinks are nothing more than spacehogs that I very very rarely click. They look fancy, but they just add CLUTTER.
What are search result n 2 and 3? w3fools again. And I shit you not the next 2 results to those are also w3schools again. So 5 w3fucks links TOTAL.
Wow, google, I'm fucking mindblown, excellent fucking job for a trillion dollar corporation.
Get fucked in the ass.
