Their arrogance and ignorance is already affecting them as many people I know no longer use Google search. Also check out DuckDuckGo on Alexa ... its now the 100th most popular site in the US and continues to increase its reach; 167 globally. Love to get away fully from Google myself! They are horrible and personally their arrogance and ignorance is catching up to them!

Those people you know who are switching are having no material effect whatsoever: http://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share http://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share If anything, their market share is going up.

  Google won't be the same company in a few years or so! They are no longer the same company (not run or driven by it's founder's ethos)... most recently saying they will block ad blockers. Apple is all in on privacy ...Apple is as big or bigger then Google and makes it's money off of hardware & software not invasive/intrusive ads. Those who ride their same wave will no doubt see huge and or continued success! Check back on that counter in a few years! It will be a different story I guarantee you!

The only problem is Duck Duck Go and every other search engine sucks ass compared to Google. Even DDG has turned to Bing (which sucks) for their searches.

  It must not suck if more and more are using it and talking about it. I use to bang google fairly frequently when I first started using it but my use of that command has become a lot less; now 10 to 20 percent of the time. I don’t hear ppl talking about Bing. Also I hear people talking about privacy including Apple. It’s now seems to be apart of their branding and those who are on the same bandwagon I’m sure will find continued success.
