    Now if they could just stop putting ad results above the app you search for in the Play store.

      TIL people use the play store for stuff besides just a rare update and apparently browse it…

    We regularly experiment with features that help shoppers identify trustworthy businesses online[…]

    I like that Google calls their users “shoppers” /s

      To be fair, I think there is a “shopping” tab when you perform a search through them.

        It’s the best example in my opinion, because it is full of fake versions of popular piracy sites because Google hides the originals.
        And it is the only site I know ddg shows certification every time.

      It’s not broken, for google. It does exactly what they want, which is to help them gather data and manipulate people.

      At work, we discussed this as a future issue in about 2000, when we saw it gaining major search share.

        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.

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

          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.

          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.

                So who do you use? Because I haven’t found a properly functional search engine in years.

        Malware disguised as legitimate software getting served as ads.

        Just a few months ago people were shown faked websites for obs studio when searching for the original. They should vet whose ads they’re serving instead of just certifying certain corporations.

        I assume SEO spam/misleading ads?

        Stuff that could probably be better done by vetting advertisers and improving the search algorithm.
