All of a sudden, Amazon search has popped up on the right click contextual menu for me. Haven’t seen it before today. I can’t find a way to remove it either; I’d prefer not to be reminded every time I try to copy something that I can buy Travis County district court on Amazon. I use the app a lot because of Amazon lockers as well as shopping at an Amazon fresh store. So deleting it (which would presumably remove it) really isn’t a great choice for me.

Anyone else encountering this? Any solutions? Thanks for any help.

EDIT: After some great comments, I decided to reininstall/reboot and that seemed to have gotten rid of it. TBD if it comes back though. Would still like to know if it’s possible to adjust that menu. Some apps I use are hidden behind the overflow menu, which would be cool if I could reorganize. Thanks!

SUPA EDIT: Did some more sleuthing and may have found an answer. As I commented here, try putting your app in deep sleep. While it kills all background activity, I think it also stops apps from displaying the problem app’s menu button.

    I sometimes get “Bing Search” where the usual search should be. Drives me nuts - this is the kind of shit Google should be fixing. But instead they’re cutting off actually useful shit like logcat

      At this point I’m starting to believe that they’re maliciously complying with European antitrust laws. I remember reading recently that they got a friendly reminder that defaulting to their own search engine is a monopolistic practice and I started noticing this kind of stuff after that

        Doesn’t mean they couldn’t include an option for a user to pick a default, though.

          Which is why I think this is them doing malicious compliance. “Oh, you didn’t pick a default search engine ? Guess we’ll just use whatever instead of not displaying the search option or prompting you to pick a search engine”
