Never have I wanted something to wind up in the Google Graveyard more.

Bring back Reader, Stadia, and Inbox if there's not enough space to bury AI Summaries and Gemini.

I'm not sure I would trust Google enough to use them, even if they were resurrected. Between their ethically dubious behavior and their tendency to kill off services I had come to rely on, I have very little trust for Google anymore.

i kinda expect google to go all 'new coke' here and unveil a 'classic' search experience as their experiment in 'new google' to be more like ~~pepsi~~ bing continues to fail spectacularly. they've already got the 'web' tab, it just has to be rebranded and made the default on a clean page with a link to 'google ii' which will quietly vanish from existence in a few years and nobody will notice.
