Chromium is a browser that can be installed on Mac or Windows computers. Thanks to this powerful web browser, people have the opportunity to enjoy what the internet pages offer. This one looks a lot like Google Chrome. However, some prefer to remove Chromium and go for Chrome.
Next, it will show how to change the search engine that your Chromebook will have and which are the benefits of Chromium for different search engines. In addition, it will also explain what must be done in order to confirm that the search engine change has been carried out successfully.
The Chromium browser has the peculiar characteristic of offering users benefits when using a certain type of search engine. Such a thing is very useful, since there are hundreds of types of browsers precisely because of the available search engines.
For each search engine there is a specific web browser. Now, pay attention to the Chromium benefits in each of the following search engines:
Bing
Bing is a search engine that is used mostly on Windows computers. The default Windows browser is ‘Internet Explorer’. This browser uses ‘Bing’ as a search engine, but the browser itself has problems loading all types of web pages.
With Chromium this will be a thing of yesterday. If you set ‘Bing’ as the search engine in Chromium, each of the pages you select it will open without any problem. By the way, it should be noted that with Chromium you can change the browser country as Google allows you.
Yahoo!
Yahoo! is a search engine that is used mostly in browsers like ‘Firefox’. One of the most common problems with this type of search engine is that it does not load absolutely any results. This is due in the first instance due to compatibility problems of the ‘Firefox’ browser.
On the other hand, with the ‘Chromium’ browser you will have the incredible benefit of never ever seeing how searches do not load. All, thanks to the fact that Chromium fully conforms to the requirements that ‘Yahoo’ asks for. In addition, this type of browser is one of the best to use Facebook.
Duck Duck Go
What characterizes Duck Duck Go are its complete results in each of the searches carried out from the browsers. However, the only bad thing about this search engine is that in all internet browsers, your searches are slow. The amount of results is impressive and very good, but what takes away points is the slowness to show those results.
Chromebook provides you with the benefit of great speed in the sample of searches when you use the search engine ‘Duck Duck Go’. Thanks to this feature, you will be able to enjoy using this search engine much more.
Ecosia
Ecosia is a very little known search engine. However, despite not being so widely used, many use it for the safety it offers when browsing by any site within the internet. This search engine has almost no problems in itself and can also be downloaded as a web browser in Play Store.
By placing Ecosia as a search engine in Chromium, you will enjoy more benefits when it comes to security because the Chromium browser protect your personal data at all times. It should be noted that if you want to help the planet but do not have funds, you can use the Ecosia search engine. All the income generated by this search engine makes it possible to drive a campaign for a certain group of people who plant trees.
