Or we could give users the choice of default search engine instead of just rewarding the winners with the most money to spend..how do you ever expect a new upstart search engine to compete with google if google can just buy defaults? Or owns the most popular mobile OS and web browser?

- bilal4hmed 3y agoon iOS the most innovative browsers are just shells over safari. Every browser is safari At least the other OS's allow you to run your own rendering engine
- bloppe 3y agoUsers are pretty much always able to choose their search engine. I don't understand what you mean by "give users the choice of default search engine". What would that look like? A global vote on the defaults for various platforms?
