Can confirm that when using google not logged in. Now when sharing a link from google search, I won't get the actual link. This will certainly help google's tracking.

Google has gone so bad over the past few years. You only get like 8 results per page. I remember there was a time that I wonder how a site get reached if it ranked on the second page, when I can set the number of results to be 50. The censorship is also really bad, and google doesn't even tell you the results are censored, returning totally nonsense results while other search engines work normally.

I've been supporting Brave search which returns 20 results per page and has other features. It used to be not good a few years ago, but now the results are often better than google's.
