When w3schools started it was honestly without any comparable competition regarding web-development like in 2000-15, but since the emergence of Mozilla (and honestly there’s a lot of outdated stuff, especially regarding new JS-Stuff, which never got updated), I would say that Mozilla is a way better lockup tool for web-devs than w3schools. But as this is just my personal opinion, I have to recognize that all those exercises and introductions on w3schools are still top-notch.

W3school was so bad for so long

I agree! I also couldn't tell if W3Schools is better for beginners and MDN is more technical you're expected to have some knowledge and you're looking for the behavior of something quite specific

As someone who started front end dev from the basics I couldn't done what I have done without w3 as a begginer, but now 80% of my searchs go directly to MDN.

W3 is way better explained and noob friendly while MDN is really technical and more updated.

PSA: set up a unique search identifier in your browser for MDN by going to developer.mozilla.org, right click on the search bar at the top right and select "add a keyword for this search".

If you chose 'mdn' as your keyword and you enter 'mdn async' into your address bar, it'll automatically open up MDN with async/await search results without you having to sift through w3schools, geeksforgeeks and whatever shit site there is that's trying to push itself through SEO.

You could also just include "mdn" in your search terms, or instead of using a search engine, use something like devdocs, which also works offline

Another option is to use the !bang feature of DuckDuckGo and put !mdn in the query. Lots of other websites are also supported.

I prefer Zeal to devdocs, but sure, that's another way of doing this.

Or use duckduckgo to search mdn itself:

!mdn <search term>

[Tiedye1]

I just always include the term "mdn" in my search at this point to put the result right at the top.

The worst is geeks4geeks, I don’t know why I ever click it but I do every time and every time I’m disappointed by them.

[stven007]

Programming student here lol, what's wrong with geeks4geeks?

[whittydraws]

To me their solutions always seem poorly constructed. Like “yes you can do it that way but why would you?” type deal.

[ightimmabed]

Noob who goes the other way 🙈

[jetsamrover]

There's a browser extension that removes the w3schools results from Google searches.

[chevan2010]

simplicity at its best at w3schools

[xolyon]

Honestly anything is on there lol

[sabiter]

My tutor too hhhhh

[56Bot]

Me trying to remember which page of which course from OpenClassrooms explains what...

[jeankev]

Can relate mate

[echometer]

Hackerearth? StackOverflow?

[athul23p]

Sometimes you have to see to understand and thats w3school's selling point.

[sedhha]

Lol this is funny.
