Problem is. Normies are willing to change to chrome to use Google instead of changing the default search engine.

The outrage over paper straws has shown us that most consumers are not willing to sacrifice ANY personal convenience for any sort of greater good.

A big chunk of those users probably don't care or notice if they use google or bing- and they probably shouldn't. Also I think the number of "normies" still using Firefox is dwindling to nothing anyway.

I think google IS the default search engine in FF....at least last time I updated my settings it was...I had to specifically change that.

Yes, Google is the default, what i say is that, as many normies do not change the defaults, they may dumb firefox and switch to chrome just to use google, that is a situation FF has being dealing with for a while.
