Google is garbage now. Everything I search is basically useless highly SEO optimized websites that provide nothing close to the info I’m requesting.
Comment on US to argue Google abused power to monopolize internet search as antitrust trial begins

Google also claims its industry dominance – the government alleges it has about a 90% share of the US search market – is the result of providing a better product than its competitors.
That’s the crux of it. Over the last two decades Google HAS had a better product. But it pushes all it’s own services through it…
This will be an interesting case.

It’s still the best search engine I can find, but it used to be better.

More like Google had the better product a decade ago. It has pretty well been crap that was just being defaulted to for most of the last decade. Which is exactly why it is ripe for an antitrust claim.
