It's even worse than that, first Google will bug you to use Chrome, then bug you to login, then after your search the browser will pop up "Google would like to use your current location". And then the first half-page of results are ads. And half of the actual results are AI slop and a helpful AI summary of the slop. And that's before you even get to the page.

Ran into this gem today:

> Google (www.google.com) is a pure search engine — no weather, no news feed, no links to sponsors, no ads, no distractions, no portal litter.

> Nothing but a fast-loading search site. Reward them with a visit.

Ah, the joys of crafting an illegal monopoly, systematically abusing the society that built you up, routinely breaking laws and defying judges.

Enables you to become exactly what you got successful for NOT being. Must be great.

Now only the people in majority need to realize this, and perhaps we can have a somewhat saner web again.
