My problem is how do I get people to stop using google.
I can open a business, but if I’m not on the monopoly search app, nobody will know.
I don’t use google anymore, but everyone else does, and no, they won’t migrate off gmail and Apple and Google don’t let you change your search provider. Google doesn’t even let you remove Google Search from pixel launcher.
I replaced Pixel launcher with Lawnchair. Very similar UX but let's you do things like set the search bar to just open your default browser.
Firefox lets you change your search provider, and it works on both PCs and Android.
Does it let you change other people's search providers?
Yeah I opened a business as well but quickly realized it's nearly impossible without capitulating to the monoliths that are modern advertising platforms from Meta and Google.
You can change your default search on anything made by Apple
You can change your default search provider on any platform. The problem is no one actually does it, and Google is always the default, because they invest billions of dollars in that arrangement.
