As one of the technology giants in the world, Google offers various products to meet the needs of its users.
From entertainment platforms like YouTube to Google Adsense advertising services, which allow content creators to earn income.
However, among all the products provided by Google, only a small portion are successful and are in demand by users.
The following are a number of products from Google that are the most successful and widely used by people around the world.
1. YouTube
Who doesn't know this Google product?
The video sharing platform, YouTube, offers a variety of interesting video content and attracts the attention of not only adults, but also children.
Launched in 2005, YouTube now has more than 2 billion active users every month.
Currently, YouTube is also widely used by content creators to earn income.
Therefore, it is not surprising that YouTube is one of Google's most successful and popular products today.
2. Android
Apart from Apple's iOS which is widely known among cellphone users, Android also has no less appeal.
Google announced that the number of active devices using the Android operating system has reached more than 2.5 billion.
This figure is much higher than the number of users using iOS, which last January was only recorded at around 1.4 billion.
The Android operating system is known to have defeated several other mobile operating systems, such as Symbian and BlackBerryOS, which were previously popular in Indonesia.
Android is an open source operating system, known as "open source."
3. Gmail
Launched as a Beta version on April 1, 2004, Gmail is now the world's largest web-based email service provider.
This success can be seen from the number of active Gmail users which has reached 1.5 billion in October 2018 and is expected to continue to increase.
Although many people have more than one Gmail account, which means the number of users may not be exactly 1.5 billion, Gmail has managed to beat many of its competitors.
For example, Microsoft's Hotmail email service, which only had 400 million active users at the beginning of 2018, and Yahoo Mail, which only had 227.8 million active users in July 2018.
4. Google Chrome
The Google Chrome browser application is not only available for desktops, but is also available on various smartphone devices to meet user needs.
With a simple user interface but many features, Google Chrome is a favorite choice among users.
Additionally, Google Chrome provides a Chrome Web Store service that helps users to install and manage Chrome extensions.
Chrome was first released in September 2008 and managed to control around 60 percent of the browser market share on desktops in 2018.
5. Google Web Search
Being one of the most popular online searches on the internet, of course you are very familiar, right, with Google Web Search?
First introduced on September 15 1997, Google has become very popular with users because of its ability to provide information quickly and easily.
Not only that, Google also offers at least 22 unique features in addition to text search, including synonyms, weather forecasts, time zones, movie schedules, and more.
Apart from that, Google also introduced the Google Voice Search and Search by Image features in June 2011 which allow users to search using voice and images.
6. Google Maps
In the past, many people might have looked at a large physical map to find a location, but now, thanks to advances in technology, it can be done easily just through an app on a cell phone.
One application that provides this information is Google Maps, which was launched by Google in February 2005.
Google Maps is an online map service that offers satellite imagery, route maps, 360-degree panoramas, traffic situations and trip planning for its users.
The Google Maps application has been downloaded more than 5 billion times, and it is likely that this number will continue to increase.
7. Google AdSense
Maybe there are some of you who are not familiar with one of these Google products, right?
Google AdSense is a collaborative advertising program on the internet organized by Google.
With the AdSense program, website, blog or YouTube channel owners who have registered and been approved can place advertisements that can generate their own income.
However, this income depends on the Cost Per Click (PPC) system that has been established.
The existence of Google AdSense really helps content creators in earning income from cyberspace.
Those are some of Google's flagship products which are very successful and widely used by almost all users in various parts of the world.
