Bing/Microsoft are so scummy lately

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy! But an enemy I like to watch.

With Net Neutrality gone, these giant tech companies could start bidding to make ISPs make their search engine default and have the other competitors fail to load.

I wonder if Google would even bother to do the reverse. Is anyone searching for bing?

Eh who cares? You guys act like Google is some helpless infant

Kind of fucked up but tbf Google does similarly shady stuff.

Please just use duckduckgo (or SearX).

SpaceNoodle,

DDG is just Bing under the hood

vinyl,

I would use anything else before DDG, the primary function of it which is searching, generally feels sucky

sugar_in_your_tea,

Why? DDG is fine for search, and the bangs make up for any issues.

SearX is dead; you should use SearXNG now.

Remember how much they just announced they were plowing into AI? The Machine Hungers

Mr_Dr_Oink, to technology in Microsoft Bing is trying to spoof Google UI when people search Google.com

Remember when they proved that bing was just providing google search results?

Like it straight up sent your search query to google search and fed back the results in the bing skin.

Microsoft is a pathetic little husk of a company, what a corny and predatory practice that not even google cares to do if you search other search engines.

They should probably just make that the default homepage at this point

This is a genius move to keep you from Google search

Seems more like a genius move to get slapped with another antitrust-like lawsuit.

Usual Microsoft, using shady tactics instead of creating a better product or just focusing on their own thing and respecting user choice. They should grow up sometime.
