Google did this to themselves, they're prioritizing quick profits over everything else. Including your search, it sometimes doesn't even search for what you typed but instead for a similar prompt that contains more ads.

I've been on yahoo for about a year now. It takes a bit to get used to he slightly different search prompts, but it works a lot better.

Google used to to try to "get you off of google ASAP", to wherever you wanted to go. Yahoo still does this, it has the same backend that feeds the bing AI, but you can disable the ad ridden homepage.

Isn't yahoo just a Bing overlay now?
