You Chrome folks need extensions to use non-Google search engines?
Firefox uses just bog standard OpenSearch definitions. No shenanigans. Ships with both Google and Bing if you're into that sort of things. And you can add arbitrary search URLs, no probalo.
No, it looks like something Windows automatically added to their chrome to enforce Bing, unless something changed recently and I didn't know about it
You don't, but you can.
You don't have to use an extension to do it, but some find it easier to do than finding it in settings.
The same is true for Firefox.

There is: https://mycroftproject.com/
