Google was markedly better as a search engine than its competitors when it started. That's how it got such large market share, that continued onward. Today, they are all pretty much the same. I prefer DuckDuckGo
Google took off because it loaded faster than other search engines, due to not having any advertisments on the home page. Which was important on the last years of dial up. With no advertising revenue on the most seen page, ****who paid for Google?
That helped, but Google did, at it's start, have a superior product due to the way it conducted searches. I'm not a programmer, but not only was it noticeable when I used the damn thing back in 2001 or so compared to, say Alta Vista, but some way the software was written. Everybody's search engine is pretty good now. Google's actually is crappier because of the way they tweak results to give you fake news.
Googles search now sucks because its human curated and censored. They ruined the search engine to hide the true nature of peoples reality and to promote certain politicians and agendas. Google search sucks now.
Yes, now Google has an inferior product. But like a brand loyalty, people on zombie mode continue to use it, though increasingly less over time as better alternatives have arisen.
