#2I would say that's about right for me.
I Google things for information which I can glean from the search results more than looking for a website.
Like what's the definition of a word or a quick calculation is easier than opening the calculator.
There's even a metronome if you search metronome.

#4This seems like... a really big deal? I know that we're all sort of living in a world where "put ads on your high-traffic site" is a deeply outdated revenue model, but it's still quite a popular one, depending on what corner of the internet you're in.

I think that model is as relevant as ever. Google is just narrowing the list of “high-traffic” sites worth putting your ads on, to exclusively Google properties.

I love the metronome but everytime I reset the tempo my volume resets to 100% :(

#7So are we trusting similarweb's data on Google itself? How trustworthy is it? How do they get their data? I've seen similarweb be off by magnitudes vs alexa for estimating traffic on some sites I own.

Right, because if you don't provide the content (you can opt out), someone else will, and they'll get 33% of the traffic.

#9Often I'm looking for a Wikipedia page, and it seems that in the past year or so Wikipedia pages have been moved way down on the first page of search results, especially if the topic is a medical one.

Weather is another big one. The Google weather widget is well done and every time the Safari omnibar takes me to weather.com I am displeased.
