Apple seeks search partner, must have $20 billion

If this penalty sticks, Apple could be looking for a new suitor. Something has to be the default search provider in Safari and other Apple products.

Does something really have to replace it? Why not a menu of options? Make the user choose something. If they choose Google, great! If they choose DDG, fantastic! Whatever it is, make it a choice.

Wait hasn’t DDG been the default in Safari for a few years now?

Users can choose it, but it isn’t the default

No, that's like, the entire point of the article.
