Browser force user to use some Search Engines

Post by cjclm7 »

Chromium based browsers forbid users to choose delete some search engines (crap Microsoft Bing included).

https://www.pcmag.com/news/chromium-bas ... ch-engines

As a USER, when I install a browser I do select my default search engine (usually Duckduckgo) and delete all other. Unfortunately that is no longer possible due to Chromium based browsers (Chromium, Edge, Opera, etc).

Why I have this feeling crap Microsoft recent adoption of Chromium as the engine under Microsoft edge has something to do with this change?
If that is the case than I am worried other user restrictions are on the way as crap Microsoft is getting so "friend" of Linux Kernel

Any way around this user freedom restriction?

If you want to stick with Chromium based browsers, Vivaldi still lets you delete search engines.

Vivaldi 2549.3 . . . retains option to delete search engines
