    I never noticed this before, but trying a few random searches does generate links to purchase tangential items. Freaky yet unsurprising from Google.

    Using an advertising company for anything and expecting objective results is a bit ridiculous. Use DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, MetaGer, anything but Google.

          It offers better results to me than Google does. Especially the image search.

          IMHO the only controversial thing is that duckduckgo also lists reddit posts - which I’d actually like to avoid.

          1. Why?

          2. Google sure as hell does not lead to the desired result, so don’t use that?

    Use Kagi

    The only way to be sure your search is working for you and not advertisers, is to be the one that pays for it.

    Even DuckDuckGo is still based on ad’s.
