It’s been like that for years. Just stop using it along with other Google-services, their products are unsafe dogshit, their earning model is to sell you and your privacy, not make great products.

I use several search engines (Brave, duckduck) to find stuff along with different AI-models (outside the browser, I disable the browser ones). This way I have at least some semblance of control of my information and no one company controls everything. Something like Google or Microsoft shouldn’t even exist.
