I'm guessing that Qwant will now appear as a default search engine

[–] sun_is_ra@sh.itjust.works 27 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Google is the default search engine because they pay a lot to mozilla, I doubt that would change

[–] Emanuel@lemmy.eco.br 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's why I said a default engine; Firefox comes prepackaged with a few default search engines, Google being the one selected OOTB

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think “default” on this context would refer to the search engine that is selected OOTB; Google is the default; the others are merely included. There can be only one default.

[–] Emanuel@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 7 months ago

Well, semantics. Then I'd have to correct myself and suppose that Qwant would be included.
