      Hey there, I've set up Firefox and Google Chrome to use I'm Feeling Lucky as the default search engine without requiring a keyword and I'd like to be able to do the same as I'd like to make GX my default browser, but this is stopping me from doing so.

      Please either allow setting an "Other Search Engine" as default, and/or don't make keywords required.

      If security is the reason, maybe there's a way to require two-factor authentication to confirm setting a 3rd party engine as default? That way it can't be abused by malware.

      Thanks,
      Josh
