Could be. I hope not. We all use search engines, but many forget, it is a service that is paid for as a business model. Nothing is really free, ever. To get the service, we sometime put up with prying, stalking business model mining of our use data. But it is important, to remember it is taking place and evaluate how much privacy one is willing to giver up for a free(?) service.Only a matter of time before it catches up.
Duck Duck Go is just Google lite these days. The quality is way down.
The search results themselves just plain suck.Still, they are not as snoopy and ads do not follow me around the internet, as I serf, like back in the days of Google.
This sounds more like this is your problem and not Google. If you have not done so, switch to another search engine to see it the problem follows. If it's a Google problem, I would check my search engine settings in my browser.What the heck has happened with Google? Now when I search hardly anything comes up. I got a text that is likely phishing or scam so I searched the phone number and only got a few foreign sites and no phone number searches at all. It is weird. It was a dozen entries in total. Where I used to get thousands of results, now it is dozens with about 50% "sponsored".
I am not a happy customer. Maybe I should go full Karen on them.
I have found clearing browser data (cookies and cache images) helps prevent tracking and other malware. I also learned to stop blindly accepting cookies. Just because a site says they use cookies does mean you have accept them to use the site.Could be. I hope not.

I still use CCleaner after every internet session, sometime during a session. Between that, Firefox, DuckDuckGo and my paid anti-virus, I keep a pretty clean machine.I have found clearing browser data (cookies and cache images) helps prevent tracking and other malware.

I have used CC Cleaner as well as a number of cleanup utilities. It's a good program but so are other such products. They seem to do about the same thing, deleting files that are unneeded, invalid registry keys, and other junk that accumulates. Most security packages do a better job of deleting malware.I still use CCleaner after every internet session, sometime during a session.

For Malware, though it has been quite awhile, since any has made it to my system, I like Malwarebytes.I have used CC Cleaner as well as a number of cleanup utilities.

I think one of the best tools to avoid crashes, network failures, device failures, and poor performance is a good easy to use utility that keeps all your drivers update. Most people don't understand what drivers do, how important they are to the operation of the computer, and they are shocked to see how many drivers there are in a computer. I know several people who replaced their computer because it was too old, it crashes, or performers poorly. They buy a new computer and give me the old piece of junk. The first thing I do is update drivers which solves a lot of problems. I currently use Drive Easy which is a very easy to use utility and is not too expensive.
It's always been like that, and any reverse search will be money grabbers except one, a good useful one that I use sucessfully. I'd share it with you by posting it, but you don't believe anything I say and try to sway others to distrust my word by tagging my legitimate posts as fake news, so in my best soup nazis voice:What the heck has happened with Google?
