Unable to Delete Default Search Engine

The Chromium team recently removed the option to delete default search engines in Chrome 97. This change was made in order to ensure that users are able to find the best possible results when searching online. By removing this option, Chromium-based browsers are now better equipped to offer reliable and consistent search results tailored to each user’s needs. Additionally, by not allowing users to delete certain search engines, it helps protect against malicious actors who may try to manipulate search engine results for their own gain. Ultimately, this change helps to ensure that users have a safe and secure browsing experience.
