    Was this article written with AI or just by someone who has no clue what they are talking about?

    During his testimony on Thursday and Friday, Bloomberg reports Giannandrea took the time to mention a feature of Safari for iOS 17 that wasn’t reported on for its introduction. The quietly introduced feature allows users to set a different browser when using Private Browsing than the default.

    “Different browser”, what they mean is “different search engine”. Even if this author was competent this article is a nothing-burger. Not sure how setting a different search engine in private mode has anything to do with the Google antitrust trial.
