Sources cited by the Wall Street Journal say that Samsung has decided that for the time being it won't replace Google Search with Bing on Galaxy devices.
Google's search engine is the most visited website on the planet and is used on 93% of searches conducted on mobile devices and computers and Bing's share amounts to a paltry 3% according to the latest data from StatCounter. Google pays$8 billion-$12 billion a year according to a 2020 Justice Department lawsuit that was aimed at preventing what the government said were Google's anti-competitive practices.
Google is believed to have a similar arrangement with Samsung although the dollar amount it pays the company is smaller.Why would Samsung pay so much money to Apple and Samsung to be the default search option on their mobile devices? The answer is that Google brings in revenue from its mobile search app that greatly exceeds what it pays for the right to be on these devices.

Supreme Court sidesteps challenge to internet companies’ broad protections from lawsuitsThe Supreme Court has sidestepped a case against Google that might have allowed more lawsuits against social media companies. The justices on Thursday returned to a lower court the case of a family of an American college student who was killed in an Islamic State terrorist attack in Paris. The family wants to sue Google for YouTube videos they said helped attract Islamic State recruits and radicalize them. Google owns YouTube. Google claims immunity from the lawsuit under a 1996 law that generally shields social media company for content posted by others. The outcome is a victory for the tech industry, which predicted havoc on the internet if Google lost. But the high court remains free to take up the issue in a later case.
