tl/dr: Bing is second with 4% and Yandex is third.
My guess is people use Bing when Microsoft literally forces them to or they don't know how to change it (start menu search, Edge default), for downloadable images, and porn.
Yandex is the only search engine available without fuss in Russia.
I'm honestly really surprised that Baidu doesn't have ~20% of the market.
Can someone who knows more than me about China maybe explain?
Baidu(and other mainland search engines) doesn't publish stats, and it's harder to track internal traffic given no part of the traffic should reach international routers.
Yandex is also used in the US and anywhere where the US government is less trustworthy than Russia.
oof, that's a difficult decision...
For most people in earth, it's really not
You're right! While there's a significant amount of corruption and greed in the US, they're at least not an outright dictatorship :)
Right, just like North Korea isn't because they say they're not.
No, for most people it's not a difficult decision at all.
But the result won't be unanimous, it'll be split right down the middle based on where they live.
