Google codes these tricks into the search engine to entertain users.
And popular YouTuber Ali-A has shared several tricks on his TikTok channel.
One code tried in the video is “Google Space”.
This transforms Google into a low-gravity experience where assets on the page float around.
AliA also types in “elgoog”, which looks like gibberish.
