Google Chrome plans to implement default search engine selection feature for European users

November 16 news, early next year, Google’s Chrome browser plans to launch a new feature among users in the EU and European Economic Area (EEA). When users launch their browser, they will see a window directing them to select their default search engine.

This feature will provide a list of search engines, including a range of choices, including well-known search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo and duckduckgo, as well as some relatively uncommon search engines. Such as Brave Search and Yep etc.

Currently, this feature is in the testing phase, and only users of the Chrome Canary version can try it. The following is a simple tutorial to enable this feature:

The content that needs to be rewritten is: 1. Enter chrome://flags/#enable-search-engine-choice## in the address bar of the Google Chrome browser

#Set its status to "Turn on and force setting to European Economic Area"

3. Restart the Chrome browser.

It should be noted that not only Google, but also other technology companies also need to make adjustments in Europe. It is understood that Microsoft has also made adjustments to the Windows 11 system for users in the European Economic Area (EEA) in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Digital Market Act. Now, EU users can uninstall most pre-installed apps such as Edge and Bing, and can disable recommended and advertising content

EEA (European Economic Area) includes the following 30 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus Republic, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
