Something that this petition does not mention at all are possible alternatives to Google search as the default search engine. If Google isn’t the default, who should be the default?


Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Startpage, etc. Plenty of privacy-respecting and non-profit search engines


Searx.be


Yahoo, Bing, DDG, Perplexity...


Bing is already the default, if you use Windows.


[citation needed]

Why would Google pay to be the default if the majority of users would have a different engine?

If you mean for firefox specifically, that's Google. But, since it's firefox instead of Edge, you've already left the defaults far behind.
