Maybe Google could just heavily discount for SEO popovers, slow sites, huge blobs of JS and generally stuff that we all find slow and irritating (i.e. jumpy images). It used to be the case that Google wanted to solve problems of their users but now Google wants to solve the problems of Google.

I can imagine a search engine that heavily penalized popovers and other user hostile patterns to have the effect of giving great content since the authors of such sites respect their users more.

As Google results have gotten progressively worse for common search terms (try searching anything health related), this sort of filter could bring back the web we see to where it used to be.

I'd love to see a nonGoogle search engine like this.
