I would actually be rather upset if my filter bubble went away. More than 50% of the time I search for something on Google, I'm actually just looking for the relevant wikipedia page.

When I'm searching for something code related, I always want stackoverflow to be at the top.

Most of the time, when I do a google search, I have a destination in mind, and am simply using google to get there. The only time that I really want diversity is when I'm searching for something in a completely new subject matter. This happens relatively rarely.

FWIW, duckduckgo has a feature that allows you to jump to any site from your search bar.

Searching for '!so Hello, world' will pull up a stackoverflow search for 'Hello, world', and searching for '!w Hello, World' will pull up the relevant Wikipedia page.
