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?
Firefox on Ubuntu's repository is now managed fully by Mozilla, while in the past it wasn't. Mozilla has had a deal with Google for years to be the default search engine that has massively helped them stay alive as a company.
You are simply now getting an official build instead of a modified one, and official builds don't let you remove Google from the main interface due to this contract.
