About

Our mission is to organize the world's information so that everyone can access and use it. Every time you search, there are thousands, sometimes millions, of webpages with helpful information. How Google figures out which results to show starts long before you even type, and is guided by a commitment to you to provide the best information. Even before you search, Google organizes information about webpages in our Search index. The index is like a library, except it contains more info than in all the world’s libraries put together. In a fraction of a second, Google’s Search algorithms sort through hundreds of billions of webpages in our Search index to find the most relevant, useful results for what you’re looking for. To help you find what you’re looking for quickly, Google provides results in many useful formats. Whether presented as a map with directions, images, videos or stories, we’re constantly evolving with new ways to present information.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Alexa is an amazing service to have a way to contact voice support, I started using this platform because I got an Alexa Echo Dot device, so downloading the Alexa app on my mobile device was quite a lot. easy and it allowed me to correctly connect my device with the Alexa device, really the main reason why I liked this platform is because of the ease of connection between devices, I managed to correctly connect my mobile device with the Alexa device in just a couple of seconds , it was only necessary to connect devices to the same Wi-Fi Network, and immediately I was able to link both devices with the press of a button. Another thing that I liked about the Alexa devices is the variety of languages that it is available in, this device supports any language that is spoken around the world, which increases the chances that this device has been used in multiple languages anywhere. In addition, I love the way Alexa allows me to configure my voice, since the platform allows me to add a default voice for voice assistance, so that the device only makes commands when they are with my voice and not with someone else's voice. I also like the way Alexa is able to connect with different devices, I can connect it to some lights that pair well with Alexa devices via Wi-Fi, I can also connect this device with some platforms like Spotify or Apple Music to play music within Alexa using voice commands. Alexa is a fairly complete voice assistant, I love the way it is available on any device, since it can also be installed inside televisions to use it as an assistant.

Cons

  • The main negative regarding Alexa is how complex the process of linking lights to the Alexa device is, as this linking process does not work correctly every time, I had to try multiple times to link my home lights to the Alexa device until finally, the process took a couple of minutes, it was not possible to connect these lights to the Alexa device on the first try, because the Alexa device did not recognize these lights correctly. Another negative aspect in relation to the use of Alexa is that this platform requires you to create an Amazon account to use it, you cannot use your Alexa device if you do not have an Amazon account linked, this is negative and when you buy a new device from Alexa, you have to create a new Amazon account compulsorily, I wish that was not necessary.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • None. It used to support Canada but now only .com exists and searches suck. I can't think of any current "Pros"
  • The sorting of results is my favorite feature of Google. I appreciate that I can easily toggle between images, videos, news, and search results to find the most accurate result for what I am looking for. I find that they often have what I need on the first search result page as well, saving me time.
  • The best search engine I had ever used is Google. It finds everything. I use it daily for every purpose like Learning and earning as well. Google help me out it has solutions for every problem. It helps me a lot and I found it is very easy to use and handle anyone can use it very easily. The voice search is amazingly search things correctly.
  • It is very easy to operate. It is pre-installed on most of the devices. Very great reach and speed. It provides you to control your privacy, management and customisation. Its DISCOVER function always keep me notified about various exam related information It provides you with most of the services you will need.
  • 1. It gives refined results for all the searches. 2. Searches can be made with audio, text and images as well. 3. It gives quick results for all the searches. 4. It is available on all the platforms. 5. Furthermore, it can be integrated with other Google application. 6. It gives important news and articles at the glance.

Cons

  • EVERYTHING. Read the pros. All searches are U.S. based now and attempting a Canadian search brings up garbage, Ads and very little content. mostly useless. Even doing random searches, It's like Google swallowed an IDIOT pill or got the "Stupid 19" virus. I have been bouncing to all sorts of search engines and they all seem horrible now. I've used Google for 20+ years and it just sucks and now caters to Americans only. It's become impossible to bear or use. There is NOWHERE to DISABLE A.I. that I did not ask to have or want. I typically scrolled below it every result and looked for non A.I. generated crap.
  • Recently, the paid ads and paid search results have become really prevalent. I essentially skip the first few results every time because I know that these will be paid to be there, not necessarily what I'm looking for. It is annoying, and something that has recently become much more of a problem.
  • No problem in Google. It helps he a lot I did not found any of the cons in it.
  • I didn't like its recommendation system as we get the same recommendation on every browser or application. It would be great if it would work in old versioned devices also. it sometimes a hassle to find the most relevant answer.
  • 1. It is one of the best search engines on the internet, No cons.
