I was just thinking that they finally became Lycos. It's what all the search engines except Google looked like back in the early 2000s - ad laden cesspools of irrelevant search results and other content. And it's why we all switched to Google at the time.


It's time to disrupt the market. As Google can't compete with a newcomer that penalize ads on page.


Seriously, yes.

Moores law means a modern day 2007-style Google should be significantly less expensive to run now than back then.

Also the most relevant patents are now free to use.

2021 Google is a sad story compared to 2007 Google and I'd actually pay to get back 2007 Google - ads included - meaning a double revenue source :-)
