These days, whenever I think about Google, I recall a line from Madame Bovary. “She wanted to die, but she also wanted to live in Paris,” Flaubert writes, capturing Emma Bovary’s provincial reality and her romanticized dreams of escape. That is Google in a nutshell, isn’t it?

For me, yes, but thats because im a heavy search engine user and like the customization features. We pay for the duo plan for both my husband and I. My husband doesnt use it much, maybe a handful of searches a week, but me on the otherhand I far exceed the free search limit with how often I search for things. I also love having the ability to block, lower, or raise a specific site in my results. Very satisfying to open up a shit site, see its shit, and then block it from ever appearing in my search results again.
