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?
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.
Yeah. I was annoyed by this, but wouldn’t assume bad faith on the part of the Fennec devs.
not bad faith, but overriding your selected search engine is just plainly very fucked up for firefox to do.
and this it not only on mobile. I had the same experience on desktop some time ago.
