I mean, honestly, it would just be a massive surge of users to Bing. I don't think any of the other competitors have the existing public name recognition.

After switching to DDG (and recently, Bing after switching to Edge), I don't think Google's stock web-search is that much better. Not saying it's not better - it is - but if it disappeared from the face of the Earth, we'd all survive perfectly well on the alternatives.

Google Maps, though, is still unquestionably king. It is ludicrous how poor the alternatives are.

In the west there's just two full search engines backing all the others anyways. None of the others have the infrastructure to index the internet
