Ddg has really gone downhill lately too. They've started injecting ads for local businesses that are completely unrelated to the search terms. Like not even a single word in common. And they serve them as regular search results so you can't even block them.
Actually now that I'm thinking about it, I actually haven't seen those in a month or two ....
There’s also so much Microsoft crap now. Why do all news articles and videos send you to Microsoft Start or whatever it’s called?
Heh. I VPN enough that had not noticed the local business ads, as of yet.
On the non-targeted ads, I always figure if the business is dumb enough to pay for such a poor quality match, to subsidize a tool I like using, then that's a win for everybody.
