Happy to see the new design looks similar to the old design, not an experimental new UI that removes half the information or puts everything behind things you need to expand or similar!

I always favor MDN over w3schools results when searching for a javascript, HTML, DOM or CSS property :)

I love mdn. The old design was great and the new looks even better. There is no documentation I've ever seen that's better it clearer.

You should check out Django's documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/

In my opinion, it is the gold standard.

Wanted to say the same... It's in a similar vein to how long expertsexchange remained in search results after stackoverflow sites took hold. I usually try to click the MDN links in search results without clicking the w3schools links on accident.

Though lately, caniuse, node.green and similar seem to be my bigger searches. It's hard to keep up with some of the cross supported JS features. MDN helps a lot with syntax/usage, and it's way better than any alternatives I've seen as a pure JS resource. I do wish they'd expand the browser versions supported beyond just which browsers are supported a bit more though, then they'd be my first for almost everything.

w3schools has a special DNS entry to prevent access, for me and my interns. Now that I say that, I feel like those bigcorps which prevent access to Facebook.
