I still use gmail and drive for work but otherwise I’m never logged into anything google at home. Today when I tried to expand on a restaurant’s hours it wouldn’t let me see them without logging in, although it still worked in incognito. This restaurant screenshot is just a random other example I tried, but for the one I was actually checking google had the correct hours while the official website hasn’t been updated in awhile and had the old ones (website said they’re still open for dinner but they’ve only been doing lunch for a year or so now)
It’s sad to see how time and time again companies build up a big user base by being the best service out there, and then just assume that they’ll be the market leaders forever and ever no matter how much they enshittify.
The amount of vendor lock-in with something like Google Maps is very close to zero.
