For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Search results are dependant on who is searching. But still:
When you use DuckDuckGo the first result is wikipedia.
When you use Google the first results are corporations.
When you use Bing the first result is a corporation, then Wikipedia.
Brave search gives an AI summary of carbon capture, an investment page, one of the corp pages, and then a breakdown on why 'carbon capture' is a misleading tactic.
Edit: All this to say, maybe stop using Google.
You forgot to mention the crypto spam on Brave lol
You're confusing the browser and ths search engine, I think. I use various combinations of Firefox and Brave browsers with Qwant, Brave Search and Google Search on different machines and AFAIK, I've only seen the crypto stuff in the Brave browser when I initially installed it. Quickly went through settings to disable that stuff and never seen it since. Still the best Chromium browser, and good to have next to Firefox in case of compatibility issues. Privacyguides.org is clear about that.
The search engine seems decent too, I haven't noticed a big difference between Brave Search and Qwant so far, they are both fine, and less heavily manipulated than Google
Edit: I’m an idiot I thought this was a different discussion
Anyway to your point: yeah I am talking about the browser. I’m now realizing that that was not what they originally meant. My bad!
FWIW, I disabled it in the configuration and I’ve never been bothered about it again.
Let me ask Jeeves
I haven't seen this guy in a very long time.
My first results on google are all mostly from my country, so that seems to have a big impact on it too
In order: Wikipedia
Climate Change Authority Australia
Climate council Australia
Geoscience Australia
Center for Climate and Energy Solutions
