Turning Off Google Search in Safari
To turn off Google Search in Safari, open the Safari browser and go to the menu bar at the top of the window. Choose ‘Safari’ > ‘Preferences’, and then click on ‘Search’. You will find a drop-down menu labeled ‘Search Engine’ here. Click this menu and select an alternative search engine such as Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or Ecosia. Once you have chosen an alternative search engine, Google will be disabled as your default search engine in Safari.
Turning Off Browsing History in Safari
To turn off browsing history in Safari on your iOS device, open the app and then press and hold the tabs icon (the two overlapping boxes) at the bottom of the screen. Tap Private, which will activate Private Browsing. When you enter this mode, your search history and web data won’t be saved while you’re browsing. To exit this mode, press and hold the tabs icon again and tap Private to deactivate it.
The Reason Behind Google Appearing in Safari Searches
Google comes up when you search in Safari because Apple has a partnership with Google that allows them to be the default search engine on Apple products. This means that when you open Safari and type a search term, the results will come from Google’s search engine. This arrangement is beneficial for both companies because it gives Apple a large source of revenue, while also giving Google access to millions of users. In addition, Google is renowned for its sophisticated algorithms, which provide quick and accurate search results.
Why Is Google Being Used for Safari Searches?
Safari, the web browser developed by Apple, is set to use Google as its default search engine out of the box. This is because Google has been the most popular search engine for many years and provides a reliable and comprehensive search experience. It also allows Safari users to access Google’s wide range of services and features such as Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, and more. If you would like to change your default search engine in Safari, you can do so from the Preferences menu in the browser. From there you can select from other available search engines such as Bing, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo.
