I've been pretty satisfied with Kagi. Not free though.
Google also claims its industry dominance – the government alleges it has about a 90% share of the US search market – is the result of providing a better product than its competitors.
That's the crux of it. Over the last two decades Google HAS had a better product. But it pushes all it's own services through it...
This will be an interesting case.
More like Google had the better product a decade ago. It has pretty well been crap that was just being defaulted to for most of the last decade. Which is exactly why it is ripe for an antitrust claim.
I’ve wondered if this and similar cases accounts for the dramatic decline in quality of Google search. It’s all but useless these days. I’d honestly rather have AltaVista back.
As much as I hate Go ogle, it is up to us to choose. -Sad part is all but Yandex is burying the same information as Go ogle it seems.
