Given that Google makes money off the ads, that would be hard. DuckDuckGo could pull it off. You need another revenue stream though.

Google has taken on so many markets that I don't think they can do anything reasonably well (or disruptive) without conflicting interests. A breakup is overdue: if they didn't control both search and ads, the web would be a lot better nowadays. If they didn't control web browsers as well, standards would be much more important.
