What is this criticizing, exactly?
Have a think.
The blurb is still accurate – the homepage has no weather, no news, no sponsored links, etc. Google the company does advertising, but the search engine page itself is still really minimalist. I think a lot of people forget (or never knew) how incredibly cluttered and ugly search engines used to be:

Complete rubbish. The very second you type a query you are getting all sorts of adverts and sponsored links.
People who don’t understand that things change when something changes.
Oh, we all understand. We’re just lamenting that the Internet has changed so much for the worse.
It’s only going to get worse with the government and police trying to create a surveillance state for risk management.
