Does Google Own The World ?

[Muhatrima]

What do Italians, Germans, French, or people speaking in non English languages use ?

Google is no longer just a search engine, That goes for Facebook as well, it is not just a social media network, Imagine all the people from around the world and just 4 big companies run the whole internet and computers. (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook)

I was trying to run ads on Facebook and google and both refused the particular site and I quickly run out of options, like that was it.!

That is Weird Stuff.!

I don't get it why some European big tech companies don't make new search engine together? I wouldn't use one single product from Google.

It is not an easy thing. You need billions and billions and then to fail

In my opinion post pandemic world will lean to data protectionism and it will cause a dominoes effect in tech industry.

Nothing is easy, but I think it's a right time for a new player. Yes, I agree, big challenges aren't for puss...

I'm so sick of Google mob.

It would be nice to have a BHW search engine instead BHWOOGLE. I bet my keywords would all be on the first page.

Damn!, That chart Explains why the support team on google are on vacation , it is holiday all week long for them in regards to replying back to support tickets, it feels like they just reply whenever they want to and most of the time it is never, because there are no competitions.

Google could be stopped at any day when people got tired of it
But it has been the most active business , in terms of finding solutions, since the history of mankind possibly

Yes it does own the internet globally, it has the reach and influence for this monopoly.
Age and branding is what matters here, there have been alternatives but none has delivered to the expectations of users.
That's why big G dominates search.
Same thing applies to Fb as well & that's why Orkut & G+ was no success is social networking.
Al those big techs dominate in their respective markets as they satisfy the users, the day it stops their control will weaken.
