What's your point here? Do you genuinely believe that most of the internet consumers have actively switched away from Google as their default search engine?

    Is reading not really your thing? Do you just like disingenuous arguments. My point was clear. If you have anything to say, please do.

    I just wanted to say that people don't really change defaults easily. You're projecting very hard here. You personally have issues with Google search results (as a matter of fact so do I) and thus you changed the default search engine.

    But try stepping outside of the bubble for a moment. You've made two strong assumptions there, that people don't like the results and secondly, that they dislike it enough to change the default. And here's where I disagree, (despite personally falling into the same camp a yours of caring) people mostly don't give a shit. At every step of these chains, only a fraction of the people bother enough to fiddle around with tech stuff

    Yes, but "fiddle around with tech stuff" means selecting a different search engine from a menu in your search bar. Not exactly tech stuff. It's not like we don't see articles in every outlet about the evils of alphabet and options abound.

    But we agree. Not caring and not knowing are significant barriers.
