Google is now at No. 2 after 11+ years in the top spot.

Google is no longer the most popular website after holding the No.1 spot for over a decade.

The tech giant was pushed aside by the fastest-growing social media app, TikTok. According to Cloudfare, TikTok ranked No. 7 in 2020 and skyrocketed past Amazon, Netflix, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google to take the No. 1 spot in 2021.
