Google has been bad for a long time, but they've shut the bed so hard lately. Seriously, look at this:
I actually run out of screenshot space before I can get to an actual regular search result!
The mobile search doesnt look much different. The order on mobile is as follows:
Both are Firefox Desktop (Win) and Mobile (Android) running Consent-O-Matic and ublock Origin
Similar results from Spain. Not sure why it thinks I'm in Michigan.
are you using a VPN? turned off location settings?
No and yes. Still not sure why such a random US state though
Well, Flint, Michigan had a high profile water issue, so it might be guessing location based on the question.
It shows the exact same results in Brazil
Bing has a similar problem where it just repeats the results, some pages are only 1 result so you just keep clicking next
What're you talking about? Every one of those results are potential answers to your question.
Unusable.
