Who’s passed Google in your opinion? As far as my experience is concerned, Google is still the best at finding what I want. If they’re still #1 they’re still holding up their end of the bargain.

No one.

Nobody has gotten better than Google, but Google has gotten much worse (and shaped the Internet for the worse with it).

It is a de facto search monopoly and without competition it rots. (or degrades to a symbiotic money harvesting machine between searcher and searched)
