>[!WARNING]
>
>**Final Release Notice 14 Apr 2026**
>Since early 2025, Google has been aggressively blocking search queries performed without JavaScript enabled by continuously banning working User-Agent strings.
>This is THE fundamental part of how Whoogle works. All efforts to find and build a method to continue working have failed, and as a result, this will be the **final release of Whoogle**.
>
>Whoogle can theoretically continue to be used by bringing your own CSE Key (Custom Search Engine Key), or if you are able to find a working UA string, you can hardcode that. However, no additional efforts will be placed into finding a fix or maintaining workarounds unless someone stumbles upon a method that will work reliably and maintains a small, simple footprint.
