Google is not, in fact, the only search engine.

For most users the internet has 5, maybe 10 web sites. I can use Wikipedia search or LLMs when I have questions.

I see your point with Wikipedia, but the writing is on the wall for LLMs: since they are replacing search engines for some users, it's only a matter of time before that experience gets polluted with "data-driven" ad clutter too.

Every search engine and also LLMs engage in the same problematic behavior.

Maybe just use Wikipedia search only then!
