Google Pixel Launcher Now Allows Selection of Default Search Engine
The Pixel Launcher, which you are getting in Google Pixel phones, as well as some of the AOSP Custom Roms as well as a search feature from which you can easily access different functions on your phone. With the new Android 14 QPR 2 Beta 3, Google has introduced a new version of Google Pixel Launcher with a hidden search engine menu.
This new hidden menu allows Pixel phone users to change their default search engine. As we know, by default, we have a Google search engine. But with this update, you can easily set Bing, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo as your default search engine.
This information was provided by an X user, @Nail_Sadykov on their X account formally Twitter. Along with this, the user has also discovered something in Google’s Chrome Browser as well. Now, users can choose their preferred search engine during the initial setup of their Google Chrome Browser.
This is important news as Google is currently dealing with an antitrust case. This case claims that Google’s dominance in the search engine market restricts users from accessing other search engines such as Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc. This indicates that Google has taken this move under legal pressure. As we know, Google has a 90-95% monopoly in the Search Engine market. Also, Apple is paying Google $10 billion every year to keep Google the default search engine in their Safari Browser (iOS).
