What if I told you Google search results are partially based on behaviour data, meaning the results you get for a search potentially differ from mine

It doesn't happen to me so it doesn't exist does not apply in this case

Thanks for reminding me! Just set it up as the default search provider in my browser.

Google search doesn't really work for power users anymore and I don't see that changing for the better anytime soon.

Alternatively, if you can't do without the google search algorithm, use startpage. Doesn't track and bubble you, anonymises the queries.

Indeed. Every single result in the first "page" was about c++ maps.
