I would imagine you can add your own in as well, the same as Firefox allows.

Polar@lemmy.ca 1 year agoAll browsers make it easy. In fact, Chrome on Android is quicker.
Settings > Search Engine > and select which one you want.
Currently you can pick between;
- Yahoo
- Bing
- DuckDuckGo
- Ecosia
That’s not the point at all.

Yeah, it’s easy. I recently changed to Kagi. Just had to do a search using Kagi first, then open settings and it was there.

That’s a bit more difficult. It doesn’t allow you to manually type in the address so you need to keep visiting it until Google recognizes that it’s a search engine.

The point is MOST users don’t change it or even know how. I seriously doubt anyone in my family would even know that it is possible, know that there are other search engines, or that Google knowing everything about their searches is not a good thing. And yes they all use Facebook too.🤦♂️

I think the tech community should come to the understanding that most people (no, not in your immediate circle which is mostly tech) don’t want choice, but they want ease of use, which mostly means guidance.
Why would a person, who can’t differentiate between google, a web browser, an app, or even the internet, want to change their device settings on their own which requires 10 clicks when their experience can be configured by zero clicks by a mega corp? This is a systemic issue in our society and needs to be corrected at school level in some sort of “Social media awareness/IT class”.

I agree completely. The biggest issue is it requires critical thinking which is unfortunately not a common skill. Maybe this is one of the first things that needs correcting.
