Bing has honestly been a lot better for me than google. I refused to use it for so long because it was just a joke when it first came out. But I started not being able to find any decent search results on google and the entire first page is now ads versus just the first few results. Bing also has an AI thing that will just give you a straight answer to a question and links to where it found it. I'd say to give it a try.
Found the Microsoft employee
People can't just enjoy a thing without being a shill or an employee now?
I switched to Bing a few months ago and really like it. It does suck how much Microsoft shoves their shit in your face tho.
I really hate how results open in a new tab, if you change the option it'll get reset eventually since it's saved to a cookie instead of your account. The rewards system is cool though, I've gotten like 500k+ points lifetime
I've had this turned off for quite some time (maybe 2 years) and haven't had it turn itself back on. Using Firefox.
