Anyone else having problems with searching using Google? First it's pretty much all advertisements now after you search something. The first 5 or so links are Ads, then you get a couple articles/links that really aren't exactly what you are looking for, then the next 2-3 links are more Ads, followed by more links that really aren't what you are looking for.

I've always used Google for searches, but it's basically too overcrowded with advertisements and links that don't really match my search which makes me think those links are paid for by the companies/websites. Is DuckDuckGo the way to go now?
 
Google has always sucked. If you want to get scammed, use Google and click on one of their "sponsored" pages.

I'd have thought you a Duck Duck Go user.
 
They busted it up real good once they started using their AI for it. You can get some better results depending on how you word your query, click on the web tab on the search menu or use the advanced search options. Or you can just stop using it. DuckDuckGo, StartPage, Brave are some options
