This is a trend that I’ve been following the last several years. I don’t know if it’s caused by search engine optimization on steroids or plain old cash, but it feels sinister to me. Supposedly you are on the www, but now you can only see what someone else wants you to see.

Yes, indeed. But I could get the data I needed. What do you use besides a VPN?

It seems okay, but that little "Enhanced by Google" badge bothers me…
