I agree but I feel like the backfire issue is never brought up. If Bing becomes default, would less techy users just switch back to Chrome? I hope not.


Surely this kind of back and forth must have happened during the last Google/Mozilla negotiation over their search engine contract, but it's a situation where while both sides will try to posture within the understood wiggle room [1], they both know that they have a lot to lose by coming to a fall out.

ex: within the range of say, $250MM ~ $350MM


Canonical made such a deal with Yahoo a few years ago and the pushback was significant enough that they backtracked before the final release.

It seems that technical people will prefer the better solution.
