They might need an Apple-like "courage" moment, and replace Google with DuckDuckGo or Startpage as their default search service.

Come to think of it, I would expect the same move from Apple as well, on Safari.

That would kill their primary revenue source. I agree, it needs to be done. Hopefully the new Mozilla CEO will figure out a way to do it.

Safari/DDG user here. Presumably Firefox could load the search results into a container that throws away all the cookies after the search is done. Doesn’t it work like that for FB?

Presumably, the real problem is that this would be against Google’s terms of the agreement between google and. moz, but - at least technically - there is no reason to throw away access to google if that’s seen to be a desirable default.

Of course - I’m guessing that google is gonna add its own tracking variables to URLs, so any search result returned by google really is going to be suspect regardless of what we do.
