Google search has gotten objectively worse with increasing crawling, SEO farming and AI generated bullshit. I believe the only sane solution is to explicitly whitelist websites with known ethical publishing guidelines. I am going to attempt to build a list of sites that I trust for common search contexts.
General search (not focused on a specific technology):
searchterm (site:[https://stackoverflow.com] OR site:[https://gist.github.com] OR site:[https://github.com/] OR site:[https://developer.mozilla.org] OR site:[https://codepen.io] OR site:[https://www.npmjs.com])
