Google is the dominate search because it is just a lot better. That was true over Altavista and true today. Saying anything otherwise is ridiculous.

Heck MS owns PC and down to tiny share with Bing. Look at browsers in 2016 we had 300 million leave and mostly go to Google.

Not true in Mobile. Bing is not very good in comparison to Google. Then with MS down to 6.5% share in the US for all devices it will just get worse.

I suspect Google wants to keep it away from MS more than anything. With Bing down to 2.5% market share they do not have the revs to invest. That is why Bing is so bad compared to Google on mobile.

This is not true and easy to see with Internet usage. See how iOS is flat and Android keeps growing.

Look at what happened when Firefox switched default search. The default search on Firefox is now worth far less than it was before as they lost huge amounts of browser market share.

Bing is down to 2.5% market share , global and all platforms.

Down to 6.5% in the US for all platforms. But is also declining.

Plus Bing having so little share and revs to invest it has really fallen behind Google in particular in Mobile.

A guy that is part of a group that drove a car into innocent people and hates anyone that is not a white, hetro male wants to break up Google and FB and it is something actually discussed on HN?

Really?

Agree. Everyone I interact with it is all TF. Even my son at University they are using TensorFlow. Hype or simply better at this point does not really matter as it is simply self fulfilling at this point.

Think of it like k8s and Docker as the same.

Google alerts every morning works well for me. Then Reddit and then HN.

K8 already won the orchestration battle.

Actually Chromebooks have already passed the Mac in the US and growing at 38% YoY versus the Mac is flat.

Great contrast to Google deciding to leave China.

Interesting contrast to Google deciding to leave China. Apple has also chosen to use a China gov controlled cloud provider.
