More than anything, I've noticed that Google prefers to offer search results that are from advertisers. This isn't surprising. Another commenter mentioned that context has gotten worse, and I'd agree with that. It's still a "good" search engine. I say "good" in quotes because I have yet to try a search engine that's as effective, but the "good" aspect of Google is now debatable in many contexts. For example it's "good" if your compare it to Yahoo. I think I might be trying duckduckgo more often (despite the ridiculous name) and even gasp Bing.
- agumonkey 6y agoddg feels more like a friendly portal.. you don't have to think about privacy much, no ads, lightweight. it fails very often, we probably all use !g half the time but still also i was surprised liking bing 'way of things' a lot the few times I used it. something felt more like home there.
