Google search feels like it has stopped being the magic it was. Now whenever I search for something I might not find it underneath all the stuff on sale. For the first time in I don't know how many years I've been finding myself using something else like Duck Duck Go.

The AI nonsense, the flawed ranking and the pages of sponsored links. Honestly, Google is just straight up useless.

I used to use Google shopping to find certain items and compare websites. Now the entire left side that used to be a filter list is replaced. When you click a "filter" option it just adds text to the search bar. Then it will include an essay about why these are your options for something and recommend top brands, but then just list everything.

Yep, that's intentional. They stopped prioritizing user experience and started prioritizing ad revenue instead a while ago

Consider the decentralized family of https://trom.tf/ apps, such as https://search.trom.tf/ as a replacement (that's the only one I use of their stuff so far... but may poke around more later).

Ironically........ I myself found this through Reddit, no joke! But yeah, I hope to sway more people here.
