About 30% of web traffic is generated using Internet search engines, software that retrieves information in response to an oral or written query. Your search results influence everything from what you think to what you buy.
Most web-connected devices, such as laptops and smartphones, come with a default web browser, which in turn has a default search engine. The most common default search engines (Google and Bing) are ad-based, meaning they prioritize ads over quality results and collect your data for advertising purposes.
Changing your browser's default search engine can improve your browsing experience by giving you more control over your search results, and can even help protect your data and privacy.
