Comment on Websites: Then vs Now
The_v@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoWhy google became the dominate search engine in the first place was because every other search engine was an ad infested nightmare fuel.
There is a limit of shit that people will put up with. Google is pushing that limit hard right now. Which is why I no longer use it.
