Not sure about PC, but I bet availability of more apps and games can tip the scales. I consider MS more competition than Android. But that's just my perspective.
> it even makes me feel uneasy that the two major mobile platforms are unabashedly colluding and one is outright paying the other to funnel customers.
Indeed sounds creepy.
P.S. As other commenters mentioned -- there is Brave search, about which I was not aware, that it has their own Crawler. Apple could potentially switch to it(or buy it).
- scarface74 4y agoI doubt users of ARM based Macs are saying “I really want a laptop with a quarter of the battery life, gets hot enough to melt steel when I open three Chrome windows and sounds like a 747 and on top of that is slower”. These days as long as consumers have Office, Adobe’s software and a good web browser, they don’t care. Apple does have its own crawler - AppleBot. It uses its own “search engine” in parts of the interface.
