What’s your opinion? Does google really “not work” anymore? Are there any better search engines? Why did the quality of search results go down? I honestly stumbled onto this question through this music video, what is ironic in it’s own way i feel…

    Have you tried searching incognito? I find the junk is generally tied to profiles Google has on me; they decide based on the data they’ve built up what I should really be looking for.

    Searching incognito tends to return results closer to what I got 5 years ago.

      I run tracker control, and only essentail scripts can run, all ad stuff is totally blocked.
