It's just as hard on Chrome and every other browser. So far I've yet to meet a single non-developer capable of changing their default search engine to my website without my help.
Try changing the default search engine on iOS Safari to some search engine that Apple hasn't hardcoded into their settings (e.g. https://ask.moe https://ask.moe, https://search.brave.com https://search.brave.com, etc).
- kornhole 4y agoThis seems to be by design and influenced by the funding. Many search providers created an extension as the easiest path for end users. Most users don't seem to even understand the difference between a browser and search engine.
- mrkramer 4y agoThere should be government regulation around - according to which criteria internet browsers are offering their users default search engines. So for example if I make new internet search engine how do I get Apple and Google to offer it in their browsers as default search engine. Because it seems like Apple and Google are doing it on voluntary basis of good will not because government or anybody else told them to do so.
