Though that would help Google in securing users and advertisers but it would also harm Google’s independent growth.

Though rival portals are coming up with strategies to handcuff users but finally. Thus, Google should keep updating its technology and services with the same simplicity and comprehensiveness as it has been providing since its establishment.
