So as you may know, i am a guy mostly focused on privacy. Basically, insead of google i use SearXNG. (Privacy focused search engine) However, when i went to change the default search engine in safari, there was no option to add a custom search engine.

This really pissed me off. So how come Apple allows changing default browsers in the EU, but not search engines?

    Safari is just way better integrated in the System and its not like Firefox on iOS is the real firefox. Its webkit with a Firefox skin.

      What system integration do you want? I personally wish Apple didn’t restrict the usage of certificates to safari but that’s about it. But I only use iOS on my work phone. My personal phone is an Android.

        FF iOS still offers Mozilla sync and partial ad blocking but no extensions are available.
