the absolute state of capitalism-driven internet in the year 2024: you have to choose a specific option on an internet search engine website in order to search the internet.
Google isn't just a search engine any more and hasn't been for nearly a decade. Over the years it has slowly become humanity's general-purpose information indexer. That includes the Web but it's restricted to it. Add in some advertising and that's Google.
