GoDaddy absolutely squats recent searches. So so many other registrars. It’s been like that for many years now and has been proven time and time again.

The only registrar I trust currently is Namecheap. They’re not perfect but they don’t do any major dark patterns.

I'm assuming Google doesn't squat.

a bit more color: it's not that Google "wouldn't" necessarily squat (I don't know), it's just that they reserve "aggressive monetization practices" like this for 100x larger businesses, like search and commerce ads, maps, gsuite, GCP, etc.
