    Google search engine is much worse than it used to be and seems to be getting worse.

    udm=14 doesn’t seem to improve Google search results by a significant margin.

    Bing and DuckDuckGo seem to perform better than Google at present.

    Google itself is failing. I’m not going to speculate why.

    uBlacklist is my current extension for removing spam results.
