Curious what people here think about Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker’s statement in Google’s anti-monopoly trial-. She claims that Firefox uses Google as its default search because users prefer it, not because of payments from Google.

I have no idea what’s keeping Yahoo in business.
Acquisitions and spinoffs. The current company is from 2021. Among other things they own AOL, Engadget, and TechCrunch.
Yahoo is pretty big in Japan. They offer a service called Yahoo Auctions Japan that is pretty similar to ebay.

Yeah, Yahoo! is pretty popular in Japan. I was really surprised when I went to Japan in 2016. Before that, I thought that Yahoo! was dead as a corp. I couldn’t be more wrong…

Momentum, I think. Lots of people who have yahoo email addresses (possibly from when they had integrated ISP emails, do they still have that?) and don’t want to switch.
Sounds kind of relaxing tbh
“Greetings, I would like to know more about this ‘ligma’. Yes I can wait. Yep, thanks, took a ticket.”
Exactly
Then your family should switch to DuckDuckGO tho.
My grandparents have used it for years, no problems.
Also, !Bang notation is so damn useful and one of the best things about DDG
But like how hard is it to change the default search, 3 clicks? Then you’re done for life on every computer or phone you ever use, as long as sync is set up.
That’s Bing now. Bing back in the day was bad. Not Yahoo bad, but still bad.
Separate of that though, Yahoo search is just bad so I do believe this. There are other viable options and were a few back in 2017; Yahoo was not one of them.

Even then, changing the default search engine wouldn’t be enough reason to switch browsers. Otherwise I would find a browser that defaults to duck duck go.
