Custom defined search engines on mobile Chrome is now possible.

Want an incredibly affordable way to host a website?

I've found that a static website deployed on a multi-region bucket behind Cloudflare is pennies per month.

If you need dynamic client-server interaction, you can define Cloudflare workers at specific routes.

Did you know that your favorite search engine lets you query top level domains?

Try a query for "site:.com"

For additional fun, try using a combination of signed in accounts, web browsers, search engines, subdomains, and top level domains!
