FundMECFS,

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.

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.

seven_phone,

This is a search engine showing open evidence of skewing results away from true for their own motivations. Slightly comic when it is Microsoft doing it to Google but if they do this so blatantly how else are they more subtly redirecting our searches towards biased or even false results that benefit them and misinform the user.

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.

Bing/Microsoft are so scummy lately

finitebanjo,

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.

jaxiiruff,

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.

I first became aware of the Yes Men after they apologized for the Dow/Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal. Just wanted to share,

Mwa,

Besides Privacy DDG is wayy better then Google And Bing + It has a better search quality.

conartistpanda,

I disagree with the quality part.

Mr_Dr_Oink,

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.

xia,

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

spicehoarder,

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

Taleya,

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