I found this support forum post but the solution provided doesn’t work.

Edit (thanks to @[email protected] for the Stack Exchange link):

Solution - Go to Settings -> Home -> Enable Shortcuts -> Go to a new tab -> Google will be pinned by default, hover over the Google icon -> Click on the 3 dots menu -> Unpin

    Yes, my default search engine is Ecosia.

    I haven’t changed it manually though, I installed their extension and it changed the default; if this matters in any way.

      You can add ecosia without the extension, just open the website, click the url bar and it’ll be among the search engines with a plus on top. Clicking it adds it

      Thanks. Because of this post I was able to figure out how to change the search engine on my phone
