We are fighting with Big Tech and they want us gone. You can make a difference.
@jon I don't get "Direct Match". Not the name, and not the way it got pushed. It got auto-enabled after last patch, which was basically a way to sneak in sponsored search results, which were irrelevant to my search. My first thought was that my browser had been compromised. If the goal was to garner interest & trust in the sponsor partners, this wasn't the way.
DIrect match is not new. It has been in there for quite some time. I guess it is the first time you see it.
We are trying to find a balance where we provide you shortcuts to sites you might want to visit, while generating a little revenue for us.
We have had the same principle for bookmarks since the beginning, but people did not like us editing their bookmarks, so this was an alternative, less intrusive way to suggest sites to visit.
