It's very easy to look at Alphabet's financials and see that there are no preferred or common shareholder dividends. Since you haven't done that, I presume you are genuinely curious.
There are probably a lot of reasons that people invest in corporations that don't pay a dividend. The "most obvious" is that you believe the company is growing. The organization will reinvest in itself -- instead of paying you a dividend -- and increase share price to a degree greater than you would have gotten with a quarterly dividend.

Yes I haven't looked but I supposed there's no dividends, only growing shares value.

I don't have the slightest idea if they pay dividends. I own Google shares indirectly via ownership of index funds.

Google shares will grow regardless of how much taxes they pay. But they may fluctuate if tax evasion scandal breaks.
BTW why do you bother as a shareholder, do you receive any dividends?
