Best Record "Google Signifies The Most Searched Word On Microsoft Bing.
Key Sentence:
- The best record in Microsoft's search engine Bing is for rival Google, Google said.
The lawsuit comes in court after Google filed a lawsuit against the European Union for abuse of market power against a €4.3 billion (US$5 billion) fine. The European Union accuses Google of using Android's success in the smartphone market to make Google its default search engine.
However, Google says that their service is the most popular.
"We have presented evidence showing that Google is the most common search query on Bing," attorney Alfonso Lamadrid said, according to Bloomberg, before an EU court. "People use Google because they choose, not because they have to. "Google's market share of total searches is in line with consumer surveys that show 95% of users prefer Google over its search engine competitors."
The argument that Google users choose its services is an integral part of its appeal against a record fine for 2018. Google boss Sundar Pichai created "more choices for everyone, not less" on an Android blog back then.
But Margrethe Vestager, the EU Competition Commissioner, said that Google made Android makers pre-install the search app and Chrome web browser — and paid some to make them the only pre-installed apps — meaning only 1% of the time. People download other search apps.
