Because of work. I’m a software developer and one in a while I’m forced to develop stuff using Google software. Also developers search the internet a lot to speed things up, you can use an alternative for Google but usually not getting the best results. Now I can live with that, but my boss doesn’t like it if I take more time to finish my work just because I refuse to use Google :p
