Regarding what happens when you search and how the search engines "own" us, I have a story of sorts:
In the aftermath of Hurricane Zeta, we had to do some things with our router and the Chase Online Banking site didn't like me for a while. I had to use Edge rather than Firefox, but then once I was OK with Edge, I was able to get there from Firefox too.
My dear wife wanted to get online to Chase on HER machine, which is another Win10/Firefox 64-bit like mine. Got funky posts. So I said "Let's get rid of the "Favorites" link. From her machine, searching for "Chase Online" the top six hits were competitors of Chase. Obviously, paying competitors of Chase. I went berserk for a moment, had to apologize to the wife for the foul language and blue air.
