Vanadium unable to change default search engine to custom one

Open mo-st opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Just restored a seedvault backup of an old pixel to a new one, both running grapheneos (2024121200). On the old one I had the default set up to brave search (visit website, perform search, enter settings > Search Engine > Recently visited). On the new one this does not work anymore, as in "recently visited" does not appear on that screen at all, I can only choose between the default engines instead, Here are the logs Vanadium log 2ad278741bc5.txt I also tried this with startpage, which doesn't work either. Just tell me in case I should provide additional information

Something strange I noticed is that ProtonDB and SearX instances are recognized as a search engine, if that is of any use to you. Maybe it is an issue with startpage and brave?

Someone found a workaround that worked for me. IIRC it was disable JavaScript on the page, then search with the engine you want to use? if not JS, something similar

@mo-st, try https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium/issues/45#issuecomment-3211379935 to add Startpage.
