Google Pixel Launcher rolling out option switch to a different search provider in EU
9to5google.com
Google is rolling out a Pixel Launcher update that delivers the ability to switch the default search provider from Google, but only in the EU

Was very excited about this but turns out I can only use DuckDuckGo app, not DuckDuckGo in Firefox. I’m afraid this feature won’t really be usable for me since I rely on FF add-ons and synchronization.

    I figured that’s what I had to do, but why were there tons of options before that I didn’t have installed, and then once I picked one, it removed them? How can I find a list of supported search providers? Like, I want to explore my options.

      I don’t have any answers unfortunately. It looks like the implementation is just half-assed because making it good isn’t actually in Google’s interest.
