Curious what people here think about Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker's statement in Google's anti-monopoly trial-. She claims that Firefox uses Google as its default search because users prefer it, not because of payments from Google.

That's Bing now. Bing back in the day was bad. Not Yahoo bad, but still bad.

Separate of that though, Yahoo search is just bad so I do believe this. There are other viable options and were a few back in 2017; Yahoo was not one of them.
