Google has consistently ruined its search engine in the last (almost) 10 years. You can find numerous articles about this, as well as videos on youtube (which is also controlled by google). Not long ago they ruined ublock origin (for chrome; ublock origin lite is nowhere near as good and effective, from my own experience here). Now Google is also committing towards more evil and trying to ruin things for more - people, competitors, you name it. We can not allow Google to continue on its wiched path here. It'll just further erode the quality. There is a reason why "killed by google" is more than a mere meme - a graveyard of things killed by google. We need alternatives, viable ones, for ALL Google services. Let's all work to make this world better - a place without Google.

To me there are two eras of the Google Graveyard(tm). First, there's the we're a university research group with an ad company footing the bill era. That's the early Google era, and it was a consequence of its corporate structure. They valued new projects, market fit, profitability, and maintenance be damned. We're in the second era. The era of the MBAs are shutting down the last remnants of openness the company ever had.
