    it is filled with stupid text advertisements,forces u to integrate reader into Google+,the current Google algorithm update is has irrelevant links as many sites got penalized and moved behind,

    Censors images & now you CANNOT turn off safesearch now only TWO options filter & unfilter yet porn still shows up anyways,Doesnt give a warning for Malware sites that installs viruses on your you computer such as MediaFinder & xvidinstaller etc.
