Wow, I'm not sure it ever occurred to me to use Google for shopping. In my head it's an information search engine that is better when you search an error string than DDG, but otherwise not worth the costs. If I want to buy something, I decide "oh, this will be better on Ali Express" or something. I think there's a few specific things I've tried to buy, but it really ends up just being a longcut to the place I was searching anyway.

I have had great success using Google for shopping. Their paid price comparison results are better than most organic ones.

And Google wants to know what you're searching to shop for, as its better for their ads business. They do seem to have trackers on most e-commerce websites, so they might know anyway.
