Yahoo really wants to be Safari’s default search engine

Yahoo’s recent deal with Mozilla to become Firefox’s defualt search engine turned out to be a major success and actually took quite a chunk out of Google. Now the company wants to do the same thing again, this time with a much bigger prize: Safari.

Yahoo chief executive Marissa Mayer, during the company’s quarterly earnings call on Tuesday, expressed interest in Yahoo becoming the default search engine in Safari. Mayer recognized the significance that getting Yahoo in front of Mac, iPhone and iPad could have for the search engine, referring to Apple’s default web browser as “one of the premier search deals in the world if not the premier search deal in the world.”

  1. Who cares what default search engine is set for Safari, I always change it to the search engine that I want… Google!!
    It is easy to change the default, and even block Yahoo, Bing and others through my firewall or DNS…
