Apple stuff is always anti-consumer, it's not an edge thing at all.

In the terminal it has a nice "search with Google" option and I can not figure out how to get MacOS to stop opening Safari with that.

Every time I use Apple products I get frustrated at how it blocks me from doing what I want to do.

This is because the "search with Google" feature is not actually provided by Terminal, it is a service[1] provided by Safari. Other browsers could easily provide their own service, but I haven't seen any that actually do.

You can see and configure all available services by going to the app menu in the menu bar and selecting Services -> Services Settings

Thanks, appreciate the info. Strange though that the services make zero mention of who is providing them.

And really Apple should have made a generic service using the default browser, rather than this being a Safari provided thing. I guess the OP's "edge of anti-consumer" theory has some merit.
