Debian's Chromium changes default search engine to DDG
Googler, opinions are my own.  I don't work on chrome or anything related.Many companies put out free software to drive people towards their products, and Chrome with Google Search seems to be one of those.  As many know, improving and maintaining Chrome is not free, and having Google Search being a default is one part of what helps pay for this work.Yes, this is Google, yes, this is likely a tiny drop in the bucket for them, but at the same time, it's taking away potential revenue from Google.If this was some smaller company that produced a product that had some default that pointed to one of their SaaS offerings or the like, there would be potential issues raised over the Debian maintainers changing this default.
