it got worse and worse over the last 1-2 years. this days you can't even open an app description page on desktop anymore. you search for the name...and you can't click on the app listing. it just gives you the option to install on your phone but not to read the store page. you only get to it by searching on Google for it. and the mobile app is like you said shit too. often you can't even find an app and get random ads for other shitty apps.

It sounds like you're browsing the web signed in to your Google account. Sign out and clear cookies, or go Incognito.

Works well here. I just checked on desktop to be sure they have not broken it now - nope, I can browse apps normally.
