Google Pixel Launcher rolling out option switch to a different search provider in EU
9to5google.com
Google is rolling out a Pixel Launcher update that delivers the ability to switch the default search provider from Google, but only in the EU

Was very excited about this but turns out I can only use DuckDuckGo app, not DuckDuckGo in Firefox. I’m afraid this feature won’t really be usable for me since I rely on FF add-ons and synchronization.

    Yup, it’s part of the home screen and can’t be disabled or replaced. Until today it could only search Google so it’s a big step in the right direction anyway.

      Well it used to be able to launch the assistant but they removed the only useful function it had.
