i fear mozilla may be in the line here, finally giving-in to google on manifest 3's limitations, web 'drm', and targeted ads program, in exchange for keeping the lights on (google is their single biggest source of funding via payment for being default search).

People wouldn’t use Firefox if it couldn’t run google and if it made bing default then you’d see a bunch of idiots making memes about how it’s so bad and they won’t use it because it’s default

Google has been worse than bing for a decade and chrome has been worse than Firefox for longer. But people still use them and think they are the best.

You even have people make jokes about edge only existing to download chrome

I feel like you vastly overestimate the audience

For my searches, Google still works better than bing. I wonder for what topics bing gives better results?

Sports, piracy, video games, videos, and tech support for me

Google’s advantage for me is the date filter. If I want to find something from a decade ago then I have to use it
