The Verge shows how Google search is useless (www.theverge.com)

The Verge published this spam article about the "best printers of 2024" to demonstrate how terrible Google's search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search "best printer" on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.

DDG tries very hard to push Amazon and Ebay to me. They're not even available in my country 😅

That seems like a bug assuming you have your region selected/enabled? I'd report it to DDG.

I don't know why they would need my location/region. They're already trying too hard to advertise stuff to me. Isn't the internet like, international? Other search engines I never get that Ebay/Amazon stuff, it's a DDG feature for whatever IP I get.
