Getting 4 sponsored links and an AI overview before I get to the search results.
It's basically all the shit Yahoo did to lose their search dominance.
Fun Fact: the current head of Google's search is the same guy that was in charge of Yahoo's search right before they folded their own search and just started licensing Bing.
That is hilarious. That explains a lot.
You can disable the AI stuff and other nonsense if you do a "web" search, it's in the list with images, videos etc. Theres also a thing you can add to a search url to do it -
&udm=14.Could also not use google

Their search results have been shit for about 10 years.

I can't see how a checkmark is supposed to fixes these Problems. Aren't the sponsored links not already marked as such?
