The world needs more search engines
Google's dominance is almost entirely due to the fact that its by far the best at search. I use ddg, but I use google search via !g about 25-50% of the time after a failed attempts. And 9 times out of 10 Google gives me exactly what I'm looking for.<p>For instance:<p>"the actor that plays the news guy in spiderman"<p>ddg:<p>Tom Holland (side bar)<p>Spider-Man Homecoming (imdb)<p>Tom Holland (wiki)<p>Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (imdb)<p>google:<p>Jonathan Kimble Simmons (splash, link to wiki)<p>J. Jonah Jameson (wiki)<p>J. K. Simmons (wiki)<p>The google result is exactly what I want. And the results were made in incognito mode so Google wasn't able to cheat with privileged information about me as a user.<p>At the end of the day, most people care about the product. I'm only willing to sacrifice so much to satisfy the ideal that there should be less concentration. Make a better search engine but trying to pull at the heart-strings of users about how Google is an empire and too powerful just won't work and it undermines your product and mission.
