Describe the issue or suggestion

When searching for .NET API documentation articles on Microsoft Learn via Google, the search result snippet often shows the following text instead of the actual article description:

This browser is no longer supported. Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support. Download ...

This makes it difficult to identify the article content from search results and negatively impacts discoverability.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Search Google for a .NET API documentation page (e.g., Unsafe.BitCast).
  2. Observe that the search result snippet shows the browser support message instead of article content.

Expected Behavior

Google search results should display a meaningful summary or description of the article content.

Actual Behavior

The browser support message is shown instead.

Impact

This reduces usability and discoverability of the documentation in search engines.
