Right? Firefox has been excellent for some time now, and Google has actively betrayed user’s trust for at least as long. It’s easy to switch and Firefox almost always has equivalent plugins and other solutions. There’s very little reason not to switch.
The troubleshooting you list here second is my primary use for a Google search and it is completely garbage. Just like you say, it’s a bunch of trash SEO sites that don’t really address the problem so most of the time I add reddit to the search to get legit answers. Because reddit has a garbage search engine, of course.
Though I have to admit I have given up on that and just use DDG to search for Reddit results. It used to be that I’d start on DDG and if it didn’t have what I need I’d go to Google, but Google search has gotten so bad that I almost never bother anymore.
