Same here, I’ve never even tried Bing and Google became my search provider a long time ago, taking over from Yahoo after they parted ways. It was the only Google thing I had for years until I got a Gmail address to use for non-important things (I sort of regret it because I got tons of spam soon afterwards), and now Chrome has become my default browser but only because IE9 won’t run on XP. Google is getting increasingly hard to avoid and it’s been impossible to ignore for a long time.

I can also remember thinking at the time that Google was in trouble when Yahoo dumped them in favor of their own independent search. Yahoo was so dominant at the time that I was pretty convinced that Google would quickly die and never be heard from again.
