Curious what people here think about Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker's statement in Google's anti-monopoly trial-. She claims that Firefox uses Google as its default search because users prefer it, not because of payments from Google.

It's 100% because of the payments. They could use DDg without issues. But to be honest Firefox uses basically rely on Google funding and that in turn allows Google to continue to monopolies search. Deal with the devil but not sure of there is a real alternative.

DDG doesn't really compare to Google search results. I can hardly find anything I'm looking for when it's pretty much always on the first page of Google

DDG sucks when it comes on regional searches or bing in particular, searches related to education is shit if you are still studying.
