I can't mentally parse the results anywhere near as fast as I used to be able to. It's horrible.

Depends on what Google’s mission is. If it’s to show you ads, it doesn’t matter how long you’re on their page as the destination will (almost certainly) have more. If it’s to help you, it’s not successful.
