I can't say I have any real problems with it, though I do use adblock.

Given the "95.32% share on mobile and 81.95% on desktop" I presume it works for other people too. I have to admit when I see the "Google is dying" articles I read it as people like moaning about everything rather than it's actually dying. I see since the first of those links it's died itself to another $500m in market cap and will probably keep dying in that manner.

That said I do find Perplexity better for some stuff.
