  Change is sometimes slow. Let’s see how Google does as a century old company. In the grand scheme of things, they’re still a fairly young giant.

    The thing is I see it everywhere around me. People don't care looking for a better search engine. Worse I am pretty sure that most people do not know they can choose their search engine and can define whatever is used when searching in the url bar.

      From what I see, people don't even care to search anymore. They mostly go direct to an app.

      Sure, today. Right now. That’s what I’m saying. Search engines are still a part young technology in the grand scheme of things. No reason to believe this is the end state.

    I didn’t realize I was looking at the 2020 stats. But the 2024 stats are the same

  You've linked to 2020. 2024 is at https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share/all/worldwide/2020 https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share/all/wo..., but the numbers seem to be identical.

  Defining the market correctly is always an important first step. Those numbers don't include LLMs.

    While I’ve been using ChatGPT with web search for almost two years as a paid user, the majority of people don’t and that has just gone free in the last few months. But when I just want a simple search, I still use Google first out of habit.
