Der Aufstieg von Google – sollten wir deswegen besorgt sein?

We all know that Google is huge and there are more than enough examples of people crying the end is nigh regarding the seemingly insurmountable rise of the one-time search engine. But are they really that big? Do they have that much of a hold over us and should we be worried?
….
In the end Google succeed because they are known (or at least thought) to be less “evil” than their competitors; what worries me is that it has taken Firefox years to get the market share it has and Chrome has achieved nearly half that in a year. The Google name and brand is huge and it is becoming trusted. Right now Google do not seem to be doing enough to warrant total mistrust (hello, Oracle) but what if they do in the future. Where are the alternatives to the services Google supplies? Yes they are there but given the dominance of Google, will they still be there if we ever need them?
