This situation with the "poisoned" serps is beginning to drive me nuts.

Its spreading to manual searches.

I tried the same search in chrome, chrome incognito, firefox and firefox incognito. And got 4 different results. I have no idea which one is correct.

Furthermore, if I retry the exact same search in Firefox incognito, i see drastically different results appear after two or three searches.

Also, their anti scraping technology is now aggresively blocking manual searches. I was trying to investigate Googles behaviour with the above things, but my ip adress got blocked by Google after about a minute of searching.

I have no idea to what extent this is normal behaviour from Google, but from my part, as a manual searcher, I would certainly expect to see much the same result across browsers. I can accept some random fluctuations. But if I see 4 completely different serps, just by using 4 browsers, the search result quality begins to seem very very low.

Perhaps thats just me?
