A new study has shown that 41% of the content on a Google page redirects to something related to Google. Google has responded to this report by claiming that these are features designed to help the users. Our take away is that Google wants us to stay on their website longer and keep us dependent on their services. Whether you think Google has good intentions or not, you’re welcome to read the report and decide for yourself.
