Mental inertia. It’s the same kind of thinking that keeps some people using Windows. They’ve convinced themselves that the option with the familiar name will take less effort to learn than the one with the new name, when in fact the mental effort required to make the familiar-named thing work properly is greater.
why jump through hoops to keep using Google instead of just using another search engine

switching OS and switching search engines are in completely different universes but I do agree with the point
I have gotten more reliable results from Google than other search engines even if it involves a middle man service that removes the bullshit
What’s a better search engine in your opinion?
startpage (basically hardened google), mojeek, kagi, ddg all solid
y thankyou!
