Related to the recent ruling that Google is a monopoly, it seems that Apple firmly rejected Microsoft’s offers to switch from Google to Bing as Safari’s default search engine. Despite potential advancements in AI, Apple cited Bing’s lower search quality and weaker profit potential as reasons for sticking with Google. This decision maintains Google’s dominance in the search engine market, leaving Bing with a mere fraction of the user base. For now, it seems Google’s supremacy in search is unchallenged. This approach by Apple underscores the challenges of any newer search entities that might come along facing the Google giant.

Apple says there’s nothing Microsoft could offer to get it to switch from Google to Bing as the default search engine in Safari.
