Google pays Apple $20 billion a year to keep their search on Apple devices. The subtext of "search" is Google pays Apple for your search data.
Apple has sold your data for the right price to Google, so there should be no expectation that they won't do the same with other companies.
They sell Google the right to keep it as the default, not that they’re selling data.
Again, point me to some proof of it being actually selling data. As to my understanding they pay for the default engine to be Google.
That Google is the search engine means Google gets that valuable search data. So they pay to be the default search engine to get your data.
Sure, but let’s be honest. Even if it wasn’t the majority of people are still using Google anyway.
I prefer Arc Search myself.
