The key to online happiness is avoiding search engines as much as possible, and truly traversing the web of links. That's when/how I find the best online reading experience.

Search results have been so clearly disassociated from content itself in favor of advertising dictates for.. has it really been a couple decades already? But, oh, how glorious it's been to find the web as invented/intended is still there, and better than ever, especially in contrast to the cold lifeless content flat line kowtowing to what advertising can abide.

...sits back, wipes forehead, smirks quietly to himself - relieved and consoled, that the answer (key) to online happiness is about to be unveiled in it's non-filtered glory so I can finally recoup the decades lost to online discomfort and bewilderment ;)

And yes, SURFING the Web is what is enjoyable about online use. In fact, I think the term "surfing" the web came around long before search engines. So add in search and you have surfing with training fins on the board! :D

I am working on a new site btw. I will do the search engine ignore BS so many recommend (do not crawl, AI bots to nban, et al) but really I will just enjoy writing the stuff and putting it into a little html template I making right now, and then adding the needed tags: p, h3, br, i, etc per-post and putting online if/when I need to. Again, GNOME Editor is the best thing since sliced Linux
