Does anyone else find Google becoming unusable? [View all]

There are so many top, side and bottom ads on Google searches now that there is barely room for actual search hits. Sometimes on the whole page there are three or four actual search results, and the rest are ads based on the search criterion. Google is ruining the internet with this shit.

I don't want to use Bing. We need an alternative to Google, they are becoming too greedy.
