back in the day, yahoo was very popular service. mail service for sure, but also most of default search engine for people, far from google 

but, how does google "win" over the century? I could only think because google expanded their service massively. providing their own browser, their own suite against microsoft, cloud storage against dropbox and the rest. google made people just need to remember the name of "google" and they can do the rest of things, which most of the times we need to rely on bookmark, memory brain, writing notes to get into the site we want and log in. I don't think password manager was a thing back then.

but across all the services I mentioned from google, I don't think yahoo has them. 

also when safe search was enforced to a country, someone protested but can't do anything about it and keep still using google because apparently for my earlier hypothesis, which is google provide everything.

that is true since ever since I tried de-googled, I need to use my memory brain a lot to remember the domain name of a site like my mail services etc
