    Why google became the dominate search engine in the first place was because every other search engine was an ad infested nightmare fuel.

    There is a limit of shit that people will put up with. Google is pushing that limit hard right now. Which is why I no longer use it.

      Partially. Not really. Page Rank instantly obsoleted every other search algorithm in existence. Nobody was able to get high quality results right at the top so consistently. The ad-free part was a bonus, at least for a while.
