User interface. I'd prefer search results to appear above the fold. A few years ago Google started putting ads and contextual widgets above search results. Sometimes on mobile not a single result makes it onto the screen due to ads and other content appearing first.

I already switched to DuckDuckGo, and I'm happy with it.

I recommend an ad blocker. Haven't seen any of that kind of thing in years
It’s not just ads, but non-results content like “other people searched for”. Search for “shoes” for example. With an adblocker, Google shows no results on screen for mobile. With DDG I just get results. It’s not the same for every search, but many Google searches put non-results content above the results.
