More like since 2014.
I use google search for one thing only these days: product search, when I'm trying to find a local dealer for a product.
For everything else, duckduckgo, which, to be completely honest, is a lot more like the old google from the early 2000s, than the current google.

What I meant in this comment is that it has gotten even worse to the point that its almost unusable. It really does remind me of Microsoft of the 00’s.
- pmlnr 7y agoI think 2014 was the big change into "AI first" for Google. I remember Translate working fine in 2014 in China with the offline pack, and the offline pack was ~220MB. In 2016, the offline pack was ~30MB and nobody understood the translations over there.
