Switched from edge to Firefox recently. While edge is extremely good and the user experience is about the same, I did it in protest to Google/chromium.
Also started using duckduckgo. Was a good choice.
Yeah, Bing has better porn results
integration of ai and data from windows usage will only make bing even better at finding your specific 'interests', too.
I switched from DuckDuckGo to SearXNG to Whoogle to LibreX and finally to Startpage, all so I don’t have to get results only from Bing
I'm using Phind. It's presumably using Google search, but it skips all the bloat and ads, skips clicking through the links one by one, and rummaging through articles full of more ads and annoying popups. Then it summarizes everything with sources, if I ever need to go to the page directly (which I mostly don't need to). And it supports bangs for Google and DDG, if you need to go old-school.
My issue with Phind is its developer oriented, and has been quite slow in my experience with their new model.
I'm a developer, so that's a bonus for me. However, it's just ChatGPT with access to search, you can use it for anything, not just code. I tends to produce scripts rather than guides when you ask how to do something, but if you get used to it, it's just a matter of phrasing your query the right way. I don't know of any other similar service - other than Bing - that can search on web and crunch the results for you. And I find Phind to be much more reliable than Bing.
