Well, the first casualty of ending browser search engine defaults would surely be Mozilla, and then probably a non-Chromium Safari. Is enhancing the Chromium monopoly an acceptable price to pay to fix the damage default search engine cause? I don't know. But it's not like the rest of the ecosystem will go on -- for better and worse -- if you "fix" the pollution-spewing engine driving the browser business model.

@michaelchampion @cdub Right, that would be a pretty naive fix, if it could be called a fix at all. I think we can do significantly better than that, but I wasn't writing up solutions in this thread, just explaining the issues. There's a group of people interested in solving this, I think it'll be a lot easier to discuss with some degree of a concrete proposal.
