Nope, to access play services you have to add the powered by android logo and preinstall a minimum set of required apps (including the google search app), but afaik nothing saying google has to be the default search engine.
- robertlagrant 3y agoPerhaps that will change in response to this.
- darkwater 3y agoBut that would be anti-competitive, right?
- robertlagrant 3y agoI agree. Probably. Microsoft got hit for this, although of course changing browser is almost as easy as changing search engine. The question is: why isn't it anticompetitive to have Bing as the default?
- ThrowawayR2 3y agoSeems unlikely. Samsung would justifiably paint that as anti-competitive / monopolistic and the last thing Google wants is more scrutiny from various government regulators right now.
