How do you set an EU Search engine as default on iOS? (feddit.org)

Apple has a very limited list of search engines that it allows.

There are a couple of extensions that do reddirect, but that doesn't even prevent the request from going to the Search Engine defined in settings.

Alternatively, I can try a different browser, but they are objectively worse, and none of them can use extensions.

I'm wondering if I'm the only one stressed with this or has everyone found a alternative that I don't know.

This looks like proper monopolistic behaviour btw

I use Vivaldi browser but the iOS version is lacking some defining features compared to Android or desktop versions. Not delved into alternative browsers on iOS much (Vivaldi is what I use on everything what), but from what I tried they're not as polished as safari since it wasn't that long ago that apple allowed you to even set the default browser in iOS.

Definitely monopolist strategy but unfortunately most apple users see the closed ecosystem as a selling point so hard to see it changing

Kagi has its own extension that redirects search terms to itself, works most of the time. Unfortunately they’re paid and in the US. I did find an extension for safari that should do the same thing for your use case though. https://mshibanami.github.io/redirect-web/

I’m using Qwant browser which uses Qwant search engine. Both the browser and the search engine are actually quite decent, and I think it’s a French project

Yoj use Qwant in Safari in iOS? Could you guide me through the process of setting it as default in the settings?

As said I migrated to use their ios browser: https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/qwant-private-search/id924470452?l=en-GB

if you want to stick to safari there seems to be also this https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/qwant-for-safari/id1645050159?l=en-GB but i haven’t tried that myself

i suggest you give it a try to the browser, i’m quite happy with it

Oh I'm so sorry. I missed the part where you mentioned the browser. I'll take a look. Thank you

You can also try the Orion browser and get ad blocking and addon support, though I think Kagi is an American company.
