Just because Americans love Google doesn't make it a monopoly. Biden lawsuit goes too far.
DOJ's antitrust lawsuit rests on the paternalistic theory that Google's search dominance must be bad – even though consumers overwhelmingly prefer it.

The article’s whole argument sounds like one of the weakest and most common corporate speak nonsense arguments that come up whenever there is a monopoly. It’s almost an admission of being a monopoly.
That said, the “browsers providing Google search by default money” is probably the economic reason why we still have a Firefox web browser (the only real, fully functioning alternative to the webkit/blink browsers like Chrome). For a long time, it was a significant source of their income.
Also, the alternatives to Google search need to step up their game. As a tech worker, Bing sucks for results. Yahoo does too since it gets results from Bing. DuckDuckGo isn’t bad. Anyone know better alternatives?
Ecosia is also decent, respects privacy, and uses proceeds to plant trees
Never heard of that. I will try it.
DuckDuckGo uses Bing as well, so I'm not sure why it's better for you than Yahoo or bing.com. I personally am fine using DDG, as it provides the results I'm looking for and doesn't track me for asking.
According to Wikipedia:
DuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google.
That explains why the results are better than Bing for me.
