    I’m not sure the choice between Bing or Google, two search engines controlled by giant corporations who make money from advertising, is enough of a choice for a truly free Internet. And as the Bing outage last week showed us, most other search engines are just Bing repackaged.

      Search engines are not baked into Android, they get exposed through apps like everything else.

      The choice is limited to every search engine out there… which are not many, but what can you do, it takes a lot of resources to spin up a search engine.
