I used to use Bing. Then I switched to DuckDuckGo about a year ago and have been using it ever since. None of them are perfect, and probably never will be for most people, so you just gotta suck it up and deil with the parts you don’t like.

There are NO parts of Bing that I like. It used to pop up everytime I wanted to do anything. Now it just sits there until I call on it. I didn't delete it yet because I figured I would find something that I like about it, but, NOPE nothing to like about it.

I use it all the time. Part of the reason is to avoid Google and their harvesting of personal info. MS not perfect but less intrusive than G.

I don't use Bing. I have other alternatives that work for me. DuckDuckGo uses Google, but does not pass your personal info so it's like using Google anonymously. Google has its faults, but Bing isn't perfect either.

I have not had MS try to force Bing on me.

Not yet.
So far only Google and Duck Duck Go.
DDG returns much less superfluous and disassociated crap.
Is Bing better, worse, or the same?

Not me. What I hate is that, despite the fact that my default search engine is Google, windows will use bing anyway... I keep hearing about lawsuits against Apple for their dodgy tactics, so why does Micro$oft get away with it?

If anyone finds a way to delete Bing, please post it. I have tried, to no avail...

First, it was Bing, now they're pushing Copilot!

I use Bing search instead of Google. Google has been tracking and saving data on you for years.

I use Firefox which uses "DuckDuckGo" for its search engine.
Just another option . . .

Apple does the same thing with its browser Safari. I switch between it and Firefox and when I use one, the other often tries to make a scene.
