I'm interested in a working search engine which is not Google (in the EU) . I don't believe it currently exists, based on my testing (and no, bing doesn't work), so Google still brings a lot of value to me, and to most people I know. The android crowd is not cornered in any way - iPhones are just so expensive most people can't afford them, so android is actually a rather sensible option, and unless Apple radically alters its pricing policy, this is unlikely to change. Whether Google has brought something new and useful to the table in the past few years is another question, but it does not diminish the current value I derive from Google, since they have no competitors.

> The android crowd is not cornered in any way - iPhones are just so expensive most people can't afford them This is why they are cornered. They cant afford a different phone OS. You cant remove the Google search bar from the home screen. Google forces/tricks you into using their services, keeping location tracking on, etc..... > (and no, bing doesn't work), Im surprised you find Bing worse than google? In the US, the first page of google results in almost all ads, or search results close but not really what you searched for (even with an ad blocker). I dont have an answer for non-US but I just find it interesting.

  As someone who went from Google to Duckduckgo to now Ecosia have to say I have no issues using Ecosia with the bing backend, do I wish I got a great result first time everytime? sure but it's not like I was getting that with Google either
