Google to offer users a choice of default search engine on Android in the EU – but it's pay to play

How on earth have the EU let them get away with charging search engines to be put on the EU mandated search engine select screen?

No doubt Google is so synonymous with search now they probably think 90% of people will choose Google anyway. As a lot of people have probably only ever of heard of Google and maybe Bing, but that's probably just because their Windows 10 PC was set up to use Bing by default.

I have to say most of my searches do go through Google as when I did try Yahoo (so Bing results) I found a lot of the results for technical searches were just pages stuffed with keywords trying to get you to sign up to paid support services. I do use Yandex for its image searches though as found it to be better than both Google and Bing, especially when doing a reverse image searches.
