The only thing that would have a chance is if Apple developed a search engine and used it as the default instead of using Google. People are busy/ignorant and do not care and will eat whatever search results they are given.
But this might be a risk to Apple based on how many people use Gmail on their Apple phones.
It is not about quality anymore, it is only about market domination. The only thing that will bring about new search engines will be anti-trust legislation.
- missedthecue 5y agoHow does anti trust action solve this? Forcing to divest cloud and Gmail will not make competition have an easier job with their search engines. Google search itself is irreducible, at least in any productive way.
- SpodGaju 5y agoI don’t know, that’s for smarter people than me to figure out. But they are a monopoly so anti-trust action is called for.

- SpodGaju 5y agoI do not know how to cure cancer, but I am sure it is not good for me. So I go to someone who might know more about how to get rid of it. You can know there is a problem without knowing how to fix it. That should not stop you from talking about the problem.
