In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened.
My browser is configured against tracking and fingerprinting (in fact all my devices are) which would make it fairly difficult to retain any data unless they are profiling me.
I noticed this too. It usually occured when trying to find something that would have lesser number of results. Switched to metager.
The results in the first few pages are fine though, maybe thats why some people itt havent noticed it yet.
This was first page. Around 10-15 mark.
