Part of the vocal few, most people seem to agree that googles relationship to Mozilla is negative, and it doesn't matter that you'd find the answer by searching for it, what does matter is that there was a perfectly adequate solution that is now gone for no rhyme or reason, and not one person here has said why removing the option is beneficial but what ever, this conversation has become petty and I don't care for the direction you've taken

Never kick an underdog even if the underdog is directly funded by google, I should imagine google had a large part to play in these changes. But anyway thanks for the link

I've also come off and confrontational with my stance, its hard not to be when a large portion of replys have been dancing around the stated issue of senseless removal of a key setting

If that suits your needs, then sure, but personally, I'd choose a tablet PC for its versatility, broader app selection, and to avoid the challenges posed by Google's APIs within what I see as a problematic ecosystem. I appreciate my degoogled phone, but it's still quite common to encounter apps that heavily rely on Google's services

But it was much easier lol and logical

Addons, I would avoid as they make it easier to fingerprints and also its the long way around, if all I want to do is add a URL like google.com or bing then why should I add an extension

Sorry I miss typed, would it make sense to of left the custom search engine option in settings whilst also adding the ad from search bar option?

[–] squid@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

And why the hell would I use an add-on for a web address? My point is that the search engine feature is gone from settings

I don't mean this as an us against them statement, I wouldn't use services hosted in the uk either
