Comment on Exclusive: Google pushes for antitrust action against Microsoft in UK cloud market

It’s almost like you make a product that everyone wants to use and your competition uses legislation to claw back market on an inferior product.

Google cloud is nowhere near as good as Amazon’s or Microsoft’s. Microsoft’s search engine is nowhere near as good as Google’s.

That being said, some of the business practices that these guys use to stay on top are shady as fuck.

What you wrote was true maybe 3 (or more) years ago. Google search is garbage by now. Only people who are exclusively using it, believes that it’s the same engine as in the past.

I don’t know… Googles search was clearly better five years ago. They clearly still have dominant market share, but they have been shitting up search results the last few years in the name of monetization a lot. I haven’t found their results to be better than bing, at least not by a lot.

Their algorithm is still good, as if I use a search engine that sources from Google, the results are typically what I would expect. But from Google itself, the results have sponsored content barfed all over actual results and it takes a little effort to find what I was searching for.

I have gone on to alternative search engines and been so much happier. I will fallback on Google when I need to, but it’s been extremely rare.

I’m no Microsoft fan, but in my experience Bing results are pretty good.

I use neither Google or Bing directly, but other search engines that sources them, so I do not have to deal with ads, tracking or AI bullshit. So I can’t say anything about the actual user experience of using Bing vs Google. But for the search results, Bing is just as good if not better.
