Google results are actually already pretty terrible. They just have tremendous inertia.
I stopped using them months ago. I only notice when I'm looking for places (e.g., restaurants, barbers).
I'm not unhappy but may still shop around.
yeah, I appreciate the push towards more privacy-centric search engines but as a result searches that are relevant to me geographically on places like startpage are next to useless. I understand why but I wish that local results were a bit better on the alternatives.
