Facebook, Twitter and MySpace engineers have devised a software add-on for browsers which negates the effect of Google’s alteration of its search results to favour its own Google+ social network – with a piece of code they call “Don’t be evil”.The move intensifies the increasingly bitter war of words between Google, which is trying to push the “social” element of searches, and the major social networks, which assert that the search engine is polluting its own search results and diverging from its core purpose of giving the user the best possible search by downgrading them in results.
