The obvious and least painful change for Google is to make the top 3 most popular browsers on any platform have to allow any search engines supplied by the user. The user has to paste a custom url into a text box supplied by their favorite search engine’s website. That way people can use meaningful search engines like Marginalia, Kagi, or others. It’s such a simple change that would have a massive impact in forcing meaningful competition in the search sphere. Google funds Apple for search dominance and Firefox for reasons I don’t know of. Neither Safari (on mobile nor desktop) nor Firefox allow custom user supplied search engines. The presets they supply appear to be controlled opposition. I want to be able to use Marginalia, Kagi, Yandex, MWMBl and SearXNG by default after a few settings changes.
