You can’t tell me anything about Altavista because I was there back in the day, and there were some more like it, but so are today that have no ads, privacy focus, ethical focus, etc.
The best choice is not always the most popular.
Google had no ads until SEO and Google Adsense became a thing but the whole internet was full of websites running pop-ups like crazy, and Flash ads that were so dangerous for any machine.

No ads and just a clean fast loading search page. So of course, ironic that its now a billion dollar company based on ads.
