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


I have not really had any problem with Bing, I don't use it. I have noticed Copilot show on my wife's Windows 10 Professional PC lately. I have not seen it on my Windows 10 Home machine (yet).

I'm using Chrome and Google.

Go to your browser Settings menu, select Search, and choose something else as your default search engine. I like Duck Duck Go.

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?

Not here, I don't use BING. I'm not a fan of Bing Crosby either.

Cherries? Yes to them. Crosby? Also a yes. M$? Don't like the pushiness of its product pusher.

I used to use Bing. Then I switched to DuckDuckGo about a year ago and have been using it ever since.


I love DuckDuckGo!

Well, the only really appealing thing about Bing, which I had used only because I resist Google for its extraneous "excesses", is Bing's daily photo. And, that's hardly enough to be "enough". And, Bing's photo-ID software is clearly inferior to Google's. So, it is hard to choose out of all that are available. I've installed Duck Duck and just go with that nowadays.

Same here. If I want Google, I should get Google, not Bing or OneDrive or whatever else is being promoted. Might try Duck Duck.

You don’t have to use it.
It’s like every time you go to a store, they want you to open a charge account. You don’t have to get a new account.

I guess I am the outlier, Brave has been working great for me over a year now and no complaints.
I switched from DDG.

I groan every time Bing tries to take over.

I'm a ho and I use Bing to get my ten dollar Amazon card every so often. DW uses the Duck and is happy with it. I sometimes use "StartPage" which is a less intrusive way to use Google's search.
