The Pixel Launcher is starting to roll out a new "search engine" settings page

This page lets you change the search provider used for the search bar on the home screen.

One user tells me they received a notification from the Search Engine Selector app to choose their search engine. After changing the search provider, the search bar's icon is updated to reflect the user's choice of provider. The user can go to the Pixel Launcher's settings then tap "home screen search settings" and finally "search engine" to change the search provider afterwards.

This is starting to roll ...

Why LG and Sony failed to be able to compete with Samsung in the smartphone/android market, while this wasn't a problem in other markets (like cameras, TVs and audio)?

After Recent Update, Google Removed All Options To Share Links That DONT Include .amp

(Update on 3/13 . Samsung phone.)
As you probably know, Google steals ad revenue from sites you share by hijacking the cached web pages and inserting their own ads. That why you sometimes see the .AMP Bot, suggesting that you don't use them. So I always just "copy the URL" from the "Share" drop down menu.

Today that option is gone, AND the "Copy" icon now includes the .amp. I had to copy text from the artice and search in on DuckDuckGo.

Thought you should know.
