Google has been the top search engine for a long time. A U.S. District Court judge recently found that Google has broken the law to keep its monopoly in online search. You probably use Google Search often. It has replaced things like phone books and encyclopedias.
But you don’t have to use Google just because it’s popular. There are other search engines you can explore.
Many search engines besides Google are gaining popularity. They offer increased privacy, better AI features, or different search experiences.
