I suggest stop using google search altogether. https://duckduckgo.com/ is an excellent search engine and its trivial to make a google search via `!g` prefix when you are not finding what you are looking for.
DDG is a wrapper on top of Bing. Maybe just skip the middleman and use Bing instead?
Please, web developers, as a minimum, set up your websites so that they do not depend on Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon or Apple for their functionality. That means, for example, use DoubleClick or AdSense or GoogleAnalytics if you like, but please do not use jquery from Google's CDNs. If you do that, and the site is dependent on that functionality to work (i.e. for text to be displayed), those of us who don't a…
How would using WebAssembly make the web less free any more than using other new features like Async/Await?

99% of websites won't function if they lose a key library.

As someone who just heard of AMP today, i still can't find any site where it's used, nor have i ever encountered it in the wild. Is it an american thing, not enabled for other countries? Just what am i supposed to look for?

Google AMP: 1. Obscures the web page's URL. 2. Makes manual zoom in/out impossible. 3. Sometimes hides content mentioned in the article, with no ability to scroll horizontally to see it. 4. Confuses Chrome on Amdroid into over-hiding its top address/menu bar (forcing two swipes down all the way to the top to show) or forces it to show (won't hide on scroll down). This is just coming from a user's perspective, fortuna…

I was under the impression that WebAssembly had reached cross-browser consensus and isn't a service from any individual multinational. How would using WebAssembly make the web less free any more than using other new features like Async/Await?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I actually find DDG results to be better and more relevant a lot of the time nowadays. The only thing Google really has an edge on (for my use) is searching for academic articles, because of Google Scholar.
Can't agree. Almost always when DDG has only spam or useless results, !g gives me exactly what I looked for. I like DDG, especially the bangs, but Google still gives me way better results when I need them.
