I have always used Mullvad Leta as my search engine, but after changing smartphone and download Fennec, I ended up leaving DuckDuckgo that comes standard for now. However, after the last Fennec update (140.0.0), I was surprised to have Google as a standard search engine. What do you think of this? Someone with this same experience?
Huh, mine was changed too.
If that was changed what else was changed that went unnoticed
Fennec is just upstream firefox with a few patches applied during build afaik, so they probably forgot to remove what upstream added. Nothing to worry about imo.
Had the same problem but the search engine wasn’t only switched, startpage was completely removed.
I hope, this was an exception. Glad to see an already opened issueYes, Starpage I use sometimes has also been removed among other search engine. I did not mention this in the post. It really must be a mistake.
try out ironfox
I wasn’t paying that much attention, I hope I am not badmouthing mozilla, but I believe I had the same experience with snap install of Firefox on current xbuntu. Maybee a month ago? I am using DDG by default and always remove Google from the search engine list. The thing updates, I do a random search and get the google screen asking me all the questions about cookies and privacy I simply don’t know how to answer. I go into settings and find google set as default search engine. What is even stranger, I can no longer remove google from the list! This seems to me so ridiculous I decide it has to be a bug I am happy to report that when I’ve noticed next update (becase those annoying tabs informing about new features) - I was again able to remove google from the search engine list.
Mozilla acts pretty scary nowadays - maybe naively - I am pinning my hopes on Ladybird.
yeah i was a little grossed out last night when i saw that. so fuck em. iron fox?
