            Yeah funny no one is mentioning the cost. It’s wildly expensive.

                The lowest tier should be about $20/yr. I’d pay that. The family unlimited $60/yr. I’d pay that for my wife and kids to have it too.

            Google monetizes the search experience. It’s gotten steadily worse at its primary function for the last 15 years. Eventually, a better search engine will exist, it just takes time for Google to enshittify theirs enough.

              Meh, I use adblocker and ghostery. The impact on my results is minimal if anything
