It has gotten worse in the recent years, i've been using DDG as a default for years now and occasionally resort to the !G bang. What's more concerning is the blatant rise of SEO-spam even on page one - for technical queries at least (on Google). Most of the time they're in the format of threeletterrandomsubdomain.domain.tld/3to5chars/morerandomchars.html Example: xfvh.companydomain.it/yrrz/vhhv3asdf.html To be honest, i didn't bother to take the chance and look what's behind such an URL - but i guess it's some sort of malware or - best case scenario - just ads... Once you've seen them, it's kinda easy to notice their patterns and avoid them - but it just takes a second where you have your guard down and then... who knows... I shudder to think what attacks happen to less technically minded people, like my parents. I bet they don't give clicking a result on a Google SERP a second thought... Aside: I've seen those being mostly from Italy (.it TLD) - not sure if it's because i'm from .de and those are ranked higher because of geolocation...
