| May 22, 2024 at 18:29 | comment | added | silpol | @Rubén-VolunteerModerator- I believe long speech "If you don't want to get customized results, stop using Google and look for search engines..." could be shortcut to GTFO-alike word. Seriously speaking, we have Google quasi-monopoly and until economic means to thwart FAANG monsters like AT&T monopoly in 1985, this conversation about 'find other search engine' begs for 'so lets split Google capital and use parts of it for other purposes, yes we don't care about private property'. Do you see where I point? | |

It fails to add the references I mentioned in my comments posted to the question, among other things. I can't promise that I will refine this particular answer, but I will be around | |

My intuition tells that undesired local results are not there because Google wants to show them or specifically have indirect profits, but because local community have higher area-specific ratio of SEO exploit efforts over Google protection mechanisms. In this case, blaming Google misses the point. However, lack of default no history collection mode in Chrome sounds like an argument against my intuition and for this answer. | |
