No, they could innovate by making a web browser that browses the web. Search is a prime candidate for extension functionality.

I've no desire to go back to the days of per-vendor search plugins like we had back around IE7, and neither do most.

Search has been a basic part of using the web for years now. All browsers support the OpenSearch standard. Now, you may feel it would be better for a user to have to manually add Google to their search bar, but relegating search entirely to an extension is an odd suggestion.

And having installed Linux Mint a lot of times, I can tell you that having to switch from a non-google default search in Firefox is really annoying.
