It can be changed to another search engine without even opening Safari.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoMost people will never change their default search. This is why Google's dominance mostly started with pushing Google Toolbar installs which changed your default in IE for you, and later, of course, with it's push into Chrome and Android and paying Apple to be default there. If Chrome switched it's default search to DDG (no, this is not a plausible scenario), most people would be using DDG for search in a week.
