We actually use Google's Search API under the hood. It might be possible that Google is giving you different results in a browser based on your search history.
Can't really speak on integrations with Alfred and similar app right now. The idea is to build a separate app just for developers when they are searching for information.

Right makes sense but if I could have everything integrated with the launcher I use, it would extremely helpful, atm your default shortcut is the default shortcut of Alfred for example.
In other words: according to some approximation of the authority of the page, given the graph of links to that page, and their estimated authority in the domain of the searched keywords -- it's possible (and likely, I think?) they aren't using stack overflow's vote counts in their sort at all.

Cool project!
Just a heads up, the Google search API provides different results than the normal Google web search. [0] It uses a different index that isn't as big, and handles term matching a little differently. There will be a personalization element for different results, but there are a lot of results that Google just won't be return through the search API.
I also work a lot with the google API for Runnaroo [1] (and the Github and Stack Overflow APIs).
