It sounds like Firefox will have a new default search engine soon

I think that's very unlikely; this PR was delivered pretty much word-for-word with a different partner earlier this year: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox-partners-with-qwant/

imo this is just your standard PR announcement of a partnership between two known entities which will get people talking before they forget about it

google aint giving mozilla money anymore?

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

It’s proposed, but yes

it prohibits Google from paying to make its search engine the default for third parties, causing pain not just for Alphabet but for others.

Google pays billions annually to Apple and Mozilla to remain the default search engine in Safari and Firefox.
