Interesting fact:  Google's search engine that holds most of the jokes, games, and nifty features. There are almost too many to count, so we’ve rounded up a handful of our favorites from over the years. Below some sample for you.

  1. If you search for “solitaire,” you can play a round of the classic card game.
  2. Searching “tic tac toe” will let you start up that game. You can set it to play against a friend or Google itself. For a real challenge, set the difficulty to “Impossible,” and try to get anything done at work.
  3. If you're in the holiday spirit, you can play a digital game of dreidel by searching "spin (or play) dreidel."
  4. If you have a tough decision on your hands, Googling “flip a coin” might help.
  5. Or, try “roll a die.”
  6. Searching “askew” will turn the page slightly...askew.
  7. Searching “anagram” will ask if you meant “nag a ram." That, of course, is an anagram of "anagram."
  8. If you know anything about programming, you'll get a kick out of this one: searching for “recursion” — a programming term referring to a function that calls back to itself — will ask if you meant “recursion.” Now try clicking on it repeatedly. Get it?
  9. Search “what sound does a dog make” and you'll get a "woof" sound — you can also try cow, pig, duck, and a few other animals.
  10. This one is for "Seinfeld" fans: When you type in "Festivus," you'll see a pole pop up on the left side of the screen.
  11. If you’re feeling curious, search “fun facts” (or “I’m feeling curious”). That’ll return a Snapple-cap-style piece of random information, which you can refresh right on the page.
  12. Searching “Google in 1998” will bring you to a page reminiscent of what Google looked like a couple decades ago, complete with company background info — and that awful logo.
  13. Searching for “the answer to life, the universe, and everything” brings up a calculator result of 42, a reference to Douglas Adams’ “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”
  14.  A treat for those who remember Nintendo’s "Star Fox 64": Searching “do a barrel roll” will spin the results page a full 360 degrees. You can also search “Z or R twice” — that's the command you had to hit on the Nintendo 64 controller to do said barrel roll.
  15. Googling “Pacman” will allow you to play the interactive game Google created for a Doodle celebrating the little yellow guy’s 30th anniversary back in 2010.
  16. Move over to Google Image Search, and searching “Atari breakout” will turn that page’s images into a big game of — you guessed it — "Breakout."
  17. If you're still not over the fidget spinner craze of 2017, try searching for "spinner." You can chose between an endlessly spinning fidget spinner or a "Wheel of Fortune"-style number spinner.
  18. Google added a tool for musicians, too. Just type in "metronome," then adjust the BPM for your piece of music.
  19. If you search "Is Google down" you'll get a concise "no."
  20. Here's my personal favorite: turn off your WiFi and open a new Google Search. You'll get a screen that says "There is no internet connection" below a little dinosaur. But tap the space bar, and the page turns into a tiny game where the dino has to run and jump over cacti.
  21. BONUS: This trick doesn't work on the desktop version, but it works on mobile. Type in "bubble level" and it will turn your phone into an actual working level. So long, crooked picture frames!

How do I stop pop-up or pop-under Internet ads?

There are hundreds of different software programs that are designed to help stop, block, or prevent pop-up, pop-under, and other Internet intrusive and annoying advertising on the Internet.
All recent browsers have some type of pop-up and pop-under protection available and enabled.
    
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Opera

 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later:
  • Open Internet Explorer
  • Click Tools (press the Alt key if you don't see the Tools menu option)
  • Click Options (or Internet options)
  • Click the Privacy tab

At the bottom of the Privacy tab, you should have a Pop-up Blocker section. If you want pop-ups to be blocked, check the "Block pop-ups" option (may also be titled "Turn on Pop-Up Blocker"). You can also set additional settings, such as disabling the sound when a pop-up is blocked or disable the information bar displayed when a pop-up is blocked, by clicking the Settings button.

Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  • Open Mozilla Firefox
  • Click the Tools menu option.
  • Click Options
  • Click on the Content option in the Options window

By default, the "Block pop-up windows" option should be checked. Check this option if it is currently unchecked. If there are sites you want to allow pop-ups for, click the Exceptions button, enter the allowed site address, and click the Allow button.

Users may also want to disable any pop-ups from any browser plug-ins, a tactic for bypassing many pop-up blockers. To enable this feature in Firefox, follow the steps below.

Open Mozilla Firefox
  • In the URL field, type about:config and press enter.
  • This should open the Firefox config window.
  • Right-click on a black portion of the window and click New and then Integer.
  • For the preference name, type privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins and click OK.
  • For the value, type 2.

We also suggest you locate the privacy option in the about:config screen and change the value of this setting to false.

Another option for Firefox users is to download and install the Ad Block Plus add-on for Firefox. This extension will block most pop-up ads from opening in Firefox.

Google Chrome Browser:

Google Chrome includes its own pop-up blocker utility and does a good job at blocking most pop-ups by default.
  • Open Google Chrome
  • At the far right, inline with the address bar, click the Menu icon  (titled "Customize and control Google Chrome").
  • Select Settings
  • At the bottom of the Settings page, click Show advanced settings
  • In the Privacy section, click the Content settings button.
  • In the Content settings window, scroll down to the Pop-ups section. If not already selected by default, select the "Do no allow any site to show pop-ups" option. You can also add sites to the exceptions list to allow pop-ups from those sites by clicking the Manage exceptions button.
  • Another option for Google Chrome users is to download and install the Ad Block Plus extension for Chrome. This extension will block most pop-up ads from opening in Chrome

Opera Browser:

The latest version of Opera also includes its own pop-up blocker and has it enabled by default. You can adjust how pop-ups are blocked or allowed by following the steps below
  • Open Opera
  • Click the Opera button in the top left corner
  • Click Settings
  • Click Quick Preferences
  • Within the Quick Preferences menu, you can choose "Block unwanted pop-ups" or "Block all pop-ups."
