Comparing Altavista to the global monopoly that is Alphabet Inc which is being investigated for anti-competitive practices makes no sense.
A far more fitting comparison would be 1999 talking about 2000 being the year of linux on desktop. Altavista had functional superiority. That can easily be replaced. Google on the other hand is (to excuse my french) a fucking monster.

Good luck with that. Using Duck Duck Go won't even register in the Google accounting department.

That's kinda funny, because I remember when people said altavista would be around forever and google would never replace them.
