When will we ever get the option for a custom search engine? (Safari) (lemmy.ml)

So as you may know, i am a guy mostly focused on privacy. Basically, insead of google i use SearXNG. (Privacy focused search engine) However, when i went to change the default search engine in safari, there was no option to add a custom search engine.

This really pissed me off. So how come Apple allows changing default browsers in the EU, but not search engines?

I'd have thought Google is more invasive than Apple? I say this as an Android user...

It is

Android can be degoogled, e.g. GrapheneOS. If you're focused on privacy then that's the way to go.

Although Google is worse than Apple when it comes to privacy, Apple is still pretty bad.

How is Apple pretty bad?

Here, let me Google that for you.

And you can't de-apple an iPhone, like you can de-google an Android.
