And that reshaped global demographics. Mass development and industrialization extended life spans, while simultaneously encouraging urbanization. For decades that meant more and more workers and consumers, the people who give economies some serious go. One outcome among many was the fastest economic growth humanity has ever seen.

I use Brave Search. It finds the correct results for me almost every time. The exception is usually local businesses, or products.
Every time I use Google I do not find what I am looking for.
