Summary

A listicle-style post compiling 50 websites and online tools that are useful but often not prominently featured in Google search results. The list includes resources for bypassing paywalls (12ft.io), accessing free textbooks and research papers (LibGen, Sci-Hub), free image editing tools (Photopea, Remove.bg), productivity tools, developer resources, academic search engines, and various utilities. The post frames these as "websites Google doesn't want you to know," with a concluding message that the internet is bigger than what Google shows.
