Con Google is becoming Big Brother
Google search, chrome, Gmail, analytics, streetview, android, YouTube.
Con Google promotes AMP websites
Google favours web pages that use AMP web technology, a technology that claims to lighten the load of web pages, but in reality in many cases slows down and is difficult to implement. And the worst thing is that it makes Google host and display the web page in AMP format from its servers.

Ads always shown above organic results.
Con Uses only Bing and Ecosia results
The latter of which could be their own crawler.
