99.99999% of users don't know this... People who work in IT knows it and that's about it.

This is also why Google search is still popular too, people don't know about any alternatives and are afraid to use something else even. They don't even know why they may want to use something else. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, but "not knowing" is not (entirely?) Google's fault.
