    I can usually find what I need on google pretty damn quick

    It depends what you’re searching for. Some things are very hard to find that used to be easy.

    The solution I’d like to see is for Google to stop being anticompetitive. For example it just leaked that they pay half of their company wide profits to Apple in order to stop Apple from using (or creating) another search engine.

    Stop spending tens of billions of dollars per year trying to keep competition away, and instead invest all of that money into making Google Search a better product.

      They also pay Mozilla over $400 million a year for the same. And as around 90% of the income for Mozilla is from the search engine deals, they’d go out of business without them.

        Mozilla wouldn’t be struggling if another monopoly (Microsoft) hadn’t destroyed their company.
