I got super tired of google a few months ago. “Ah, you searched for these terms. But I am going to ignore that and instead show you results for these diffetent ones, because fu.”
So I started using bing instead, I wouldn’t say it is worse. Just differently bad. Some search things are much worse, some are much better.
Quite annoying how they keep pushing for “AI” all the time though, so might go back to google soon anyway.
Huh. I had no idea! And I use DDG… But I feel like all search engines are shit these days. 50% of the hits are autogenerated translations with AI creating false .[country] domain (I’m in Denmark) which are just advertisements. I miss the old days of search engines. Fuck, even Alta Vista gave more right answers back in the Netscape days!
does anyone actually ever use Bing, when not either tricked/manipulated into using it or under some sort of bribe/incentive via ms rewards ?..

I use it for free access to gpt-4 and dalle-3. Can’t say I use it as a browser though.
Just so you know - it’s nowhere near as good as the “real” gpt-4. Maybe try paying for a month and see how it compares.
Everybody who uses DDG is mostly using Bing. Albeit more privately.

Bing is so much better than anything else for image search in my experience. Anything else, lol.
It’s video search is good for porn lmao.
you can search anonynous in bing, that’s why Ecosia and DDG use it backend

Yep, Bing is pretty solid as far as search engines go.
