Yandex _might_ be another option (haven’t looked) or even Baidu. Of course there are unofficial ways to scrape Google but you can’t build a legit business on that.
Side note: a far simpler first step than trying to break up Google would be requiring them to have a search API and contractual obligations that enable others to do business on top of it.
Because yes, the ability to use a single protocol for cross-service messaging, with E2E by default, disappearing messages, and text (or presumably email) fallback would actually be spectacular. But as a spec.
Hell, as a spec, this would create an argument to migrate toward a user@service model and finally start relegating phone numbers to legacy status.
Obviously one data point but I searched few more things that I didn't include. Google is better for the same query.
Now that I think about it, google's best strength is their crawler and cache infrastructure. I never find latest and up-to date content with the same speed on other search engines.
They don't seem to modify results from bing.
