If Google is prohibited from paying for default search engine status, because it is judged a monopoly, will that condemn us all to default Yahoo or Bing, like Firefox tried a few years ago? Google should at least be able to match the top bid of its competitors, so that device manufaturers / browser developers can make a pro-user choice (i.e. Google) without losing revenue.

- eejjjj82 6y agoyou mean .... will that condemn users to manually switch their default search engine to Google? if so, then maybe that's a good thing. also, with Duck Duck Go (and I assume others) I think it's more than debatable that Google is the defacto "pro-user" choice
