Google, being the tech giant that it is, is very good at keeping you cozy and productive while not giving you a single reason to ever use any services other than the ones it provides, or the products it creates.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]So you can, for example, use Google\u2019s browser \u2013 Chrome \u2013 to search for things on Google, the search engine.
