The Verge published this spam article about the "best printers of 2024" to demonstrate how terrible Google's search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search "best printer" on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.

Hmm. Has it updated, and have you allowed it the correct site permissions? Every once in a while it'll ask you to update the site modification permissions.

I've had zero issues with it on Firefox and DDG. May vary on other browsers and search engines though.
