    I wonder what happens to Google without the advertising monopoly. They kill off everything else they build so realistically they are just an ad company at this point which offers a declining search engine. While they won’t be dethroned anytime soon in search, they keep making it worse so I have to imagine it won’t be gaining users. If they did break it out, maybe that will improve search.

      If I was Google I would be hugely worried about ChatGPT. I’ve started using it to search for info over mainly DuckDuckGo but also Google.

        google isnt worried about shit. They are teh default and the user is a lazy POS so the existence of a better service isnt a factor for them.

          Except being the default is not the default anymore. New android phones have to allow you to select from a whole host of browsers and search engines.

            I think that only applies to the UK. In the US, defaults don’t have to be presented as a changable thing during first time setup.
