I even think what the CEO is saying is correct here, Google is doing it’s best kill competition.

User agent. Google wants you to use Chrome. You can spoof the user agent in Firefox to get the same results.
They still have the disclaimer on the app in the pay store. It was added after they were called out.
The fact that they hid it in the first place is disqualifying for a privacy focused product.
You’re talking abut the search bar at the top of the first home screen right? It’s always google but it can be removed.
That should be fixed for sure, it’s annoying. Personally I use firefox anyway so I change it to the firefox search widget which uses your firefox default.
I have a phone with stock android 13, which would be the same experience as a Pixel or other stock android phone.
Here’s the process for me:
- Tap chrome
- Tap vertical … menu
- Tap settings
- Tap search engine (it’s the top option under basic settings and visible without scrolling)
- Tap DuckDuckGo (or bing or whatever)
Definitely not 30-50 steps on a phone setup by Google. Only real complaint is it can’t be changed from the search field itself.
Their own CEO admits they are required to allow Microsoft tracking in their “privacy” browser due to the contract for search. They use Bing for search, it’s not a myth.
For non-search tracker blocking (eg in our browser), we block most third-party trackers. Unfortunately our Microsoft search syndication agreement prevents us from doing more to Microsoft-owned properties. However, we have been continually pushing and expect to be doing more soon.

Especially as Lemmy has even worse moderator tools than reddit (without custom tools) and the devs don’t give a shit.
Yes, it is. That’s a different planned parenthood.
Planned Parenthood delivers vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of people worldwide. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. is a registered 501©(3) nonprofit under EIN 13-1644147. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable under the law.
It’s a registered 501c3. Whatever anybody’s opinions, it’s a legal charity.
Not using grammarly also works.
