Replacing Google, Firefox to use Microsoft Bing as default search engine

Published

Mozilla Firefox

Recently, a SUMO research report was released by Mozilla, which suggests Microsoft’s Bing is currently being tested as the default search engine for Firefox. From September 6, about 1% of Firefox desktop users have accepted this early test.

Mozilla expects that the testing phase will last about five months and will be completed in January next year. SUMO stands for SUpport.MOzilla.org. These studies are “part of optimizing the Firefox experience” for all users.

According to reports, Google and Mozilla signed an agreement, until 2023, Google will pay between 400 million and 450 million US dollars per year to allow Firefox to use Google search as the default search engine. This transaction is Mozilla’s largest source of income.

It is unclear why Mozilla may want to use Bing to replace Google as the default search engine for Firefox, but given that the contract with Google will expire in 15 months, Mozilla may be considering kicking out Google and reaching an agreement with Microsoft.

German blogger Sören Hentzschel speculated that Bing maybe Mozilla’s spare tire in case the search contract with Google failed to renew unexpectedly.

One Hand Operation pop-up minimization feature

Samsung is reviewing user suggestions and exploring the possibility of enhancing its One Hand Operation + with a new feature that allows users to minimize pop-up windows. This update comes in response to user inquiries about more efficient ways to manage pop-ups on their devices.

Currently, the One Hand Operation+ app does not support the minimization of pop-up windows into a bubble icon. Addressing the issue, Samsung community moderator has stated that the addition of the pop-up view minimization feature in One Hand Operation+ is under consideration for a future update.

Moreover, he stated that it is not confirmed whether this feature will come or not at the moment. Aside from this, users can currently use the existing “Home button” feature. When activated, this feature minimizes any open pop-up windows and returns the user to the home screen.

Samsung considers user feedback to improve the functionality of its app. The integration of a pop-up view minimization feature to One Hand Operation + module would be a significant enhancement, providing a more convenient and efficient user experience.

We will review the requested pop-up view minimization feature and,
if possible, add it in the next update. Please understand that we cannot give a definitive answer as to whether or not features will be added.” said Community Moderator.
