I've noticed that many searches come back with ads. Bad example but
'cat food' comes back with 'Shopping', Amazon hits, clickbait sites
'The Best Cat Food of 2024' and so forth unless you narrow it with 'cat
food wiki'
that at least gets some information on what you feed an obligate
carnivore.

 
 
Didn't brave have some big controversy?

He also created JavaScript which some may see as a strike against him.
