You can opt out and stop using their search engine. There are several that actively go out of their way not to abuse their users, I use and recommend Qwant 
 @00b2f577 - I've been trying DuckDuckGo and am not thrilled.  For example if I want to see something I wrote about modular forms I type in

+baez modular forms

and it returns a lot of results that apparently don't contain the word "baez".   Just an example - it's not that I'm so self-centered, I just want a search engine where you can fine-tune a search.
