Google was 10X better than alternatives when it was created and for a long time thereafter, but it's definitely not 10X better than Bing now. Google is not as dominant in other markets as the US.
- tedeh 9y agoActually Google is way more dominant outside of the US than in it, particularly in Europe (>90 % market share), as this 2015 Atlantic article about anti trust measures tells us about: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/04/europeans-use-google-way-way-more-than-americans-do/390612/ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/04/europ... In my native Sweden, using anything other than Google is pretty much unheard of. I believe the average American internet user is ahead of the curve in this respect, using Bing and other search engines which are probably as good for most queries as Google is.
