How to unpin "Search with Google" from my search bar?
(assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net)
I found this support forum post but the solution provided doesn't work.
Edit (thanks to @moreeni@lemm.ee for the Stack Exchange link):
Solution - Go to Settings -> Home -> Enable Shortcuts -> Go to a new tab -> Google will be pinned by default, hover over the Google icon -> Click on the 3 dots menu -> Unpin
You use Youtube and GMail.... I can recommend NoScript and "temporary container" to keep things isolated.
The containers persist until you close the tab. Or use containers manually for Google stuff.
Context: if you dont block Google (and tons of other) Javascript and dont isolate cookies, Google already knows a lot about what you are doing. So you could also just use their search pretty much.
But if you block their javascript through an "allowlist" approach using NoScript, they cant place cookies or tracking pixels and you get a huge advantage
