100% agree. Want a search engine that is better in every way than Google? Give me Google from 2010 or so:

1. Much clearer delineations between ads and organic search results.

2. For anything remotely commercial it wasn't the case that literally the first 4 or 5 results were ads, pushing organic results below the fold.

3. No AMP carousel

4. There wasn't a vomitous amount of those "tidbit" sections - there were only a couple and they were usually helpful.

Those 4 points can be solved by ad blockers or other browser extensions. The real problem is that the results below the ads are also ads, seo spam and clickbaity stuff.
