The fact that Android of Google is a complete and quality ecosystem is not a secret, but that there is life beyond it is worth it and it is not only iOS and macOS. Without going further, Grapheneos is an excellent alternative and if we are talking about browsers, Chrome has rivals at the height. And the same can be said of the Google search engine: there are solvent and quality alternatives. However, In practice, how much does it cost to get out of Google.
Obviously, it is not accidental and in fact, Google has problems with the law because of its monopolistic practices. So much so that the option that Google must get rid of Chrome is on the table. It is worth doing the introspection and reviewing the Google tools that we use in our daily lives, if we are aware of what they offer and what they are done and if we can find and use substitution applications.
What would make you leave the Google search engine
Perhaps we have realized that we do not leave Google or for money and it is not a saying: it is that a recent study has developed various research teams from Stanford, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania. Most users and users have returned to Google.
The study. For the sample, they took 2,354 Internet users and They were invited to use alternatives to GoogleMore specifically Bing, the Microsoft search engine which we remember is vitamin by the artificial intelligence of Openai. Google has a market share of more than 90% worldwide, they therefore proposed the change to actively execute it, after a predetermined change in their search engine or by economic bonuses.
Up to 25 dollars for saying goodbye to the Google search engine. They divided the participants into three groups and offered them 1 euro, 10 dollars and 25 dollars respectively to use Bing for two weeks. In the first group, 32% of people accepted the change for a single euro, 64% said yes to the new search engine for 10 dollars and up to 74% moved to Bing for 25 dollars.
After these 14 days of trial, they had to choose. Exhausted the two weeks, the time of the truth came: would they remain in Bing or would return to Google? An overwhelming majority decided to return and only 22% stayed with the Microsoft search engine and continued to use it later.
The company founded by Bill Gates actually has rewards for the use of its applications, but the figures show that they do not have much to deal with Google. But beyond the money, the research team concluded that there was Weight reasons had to return to Google. This is the case with lack of experience and habit, but also that although a predetermined change is made in the search engine, it is not linked to a change of customs or preferences. Also and as the Washington Post summarizes, although in exchange for a small economic advantage, the majority would change the navigator, this would also reduce the well-being of consumers.
Among the conclusions of the study, it is also mentioned that Google has reached overwhelming hegemony in market share both because of the different conditions in force (lack of knowledge of the alternatives, products offered by default or treatment between companies) as Also for its quality.
