To live.

This is Tim’s town and if you think you’re doing business and cutting Tim out then you’ve got $10b concrete boots coming.

I'm not sure if you're shitposting or actually replying. Alphabet pays Apple to be the default search-engine in Safari. Thats it, Google are not exempt from Apples privacy policies. Google dragged their feed after the iOS 15 privacy changes, but in the end had to cave.

Apple's privacy policies are not set in stone. They are more like pray I don't alter the deal further.

ATM only Apple can stop Apple from deciding they want no tracking done by search engine providers in iOS apps.

I think Google as the default search engine on Safari is a big win.

How is that just an excuse to hand over money?

Do think that putting DuckDuckGo as default in Safari will not have any influence in either DuckDuckGo or Google market share?

Right, like as without those 5B Apple would screw up its products by handing over all search to some guy with a Bing scraping Perl script cosplaying as a search engine.
