Really shows that EU hit them where it hurts, when they refuse to do the same other places.

Only good for consumers when forced by law.

Yep, and Google does the same shit.

On Pixel phones you have the search bar at the bottom, which you cannot remove, replace, resize, or configure.

In the EU you can configure it to change your default search engine. In North America you cannot, and are forced to use Google.

And on Google forums anyone who complains gets attacked by a wave of simps saying “Then just don’t buy a pixel then, go somewhere else if you don’t like it”.

So tired of this shit.

At least third party launchers are a thing on Android.

Though that isn’t an excuse for Google’s behaviour.
