Does &pws=0 still work?

[PaddyDisplays]

Hi All

I have have been kind of out of the seo scene for a while,  does &pws=0 still work?   I only ask as the search console says our brand name has droped to an average postion 3 ( instead of 1), but every time I check I we are 1st ( and I can see anything behind it that could possiabley get in front of it.

Thanks

Edit:  Actually  I also tried testing incognito, via a proxy and &pws=0,  we are always 1st

This post from Jan 2020 seems to assume that you can still use &pws=0

... but I don't know how reliable it is!
