It's my right to say it's shitty behavior and I look down on it
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.

Don't worry, "the mushroom will eat the fungus". It may be the other way around, but whatever.
And just when I thought their endless begging couldn't get any more pathetic.
Soon enough they'll tell you a puppy dies every time you launch a non-edge browser
If you’re going to use one of the two, it’s a lot better to be using Bing than Google. At least you stand a chance of finding what you’re looking for with Bing.
I guess? But deception ain't helping anyone
Great movie. Some jokes surely have aged badly, but it's a classic.
lol, I just watched this movie this week
Does it hold up in 2025?
It's a classic comedy movie from the '80s. To a modern audience some jokes will appear too raunchy or racist, but I think it's still worth a watch.
Personally I started to dislike it's comedy, even though it was one of my favorite movies back in the 90s. I tried to watch it's sequel and I couldn't go beyond the first 10 minutes. It hasn't aged well to me.
Besides Privacy DDG is wayy better then Google And Bing + It has a better search quality.
I prefer DDG to either as well, but in terms of search quality ... Don't they use Bing search results?
Yes they use Bing but i think they did some adjustments to improve the search quality (Correct me if am wrong)
DDG may be better for privacy, but I've found their search results to be garbage.
Make sure you have regional results enabled if you're not from the US, results get way better (just make sure the little toggle right below the search bar is on)
It shows less results but i find it to be better personally.
I don't think there's a difference in search quality, but I do really like the bangs and the client-side settings (can completely disable the AI noise, enable dark mode, etc all w/o needing an account).
Agree
I disagree with the quality part.

which has become a synonym for search engines or finding answers online.
If you’re my age, sure. But it’s crap.
I wonder if Google would even bother to do the reverse. Is anyone searching for bing?
Google has such bad results, they would probably figure you wanted the Palmer’s candy.
Wait, is Microsoft using Google's copyrighted work on their page without authorization? This is going to get pulled so fast they're gonna get whiplash.
Why would they? They can imitate Google's style w/o violating their copyright, it would actually be easier to reinvent the wheel than to try to somehow copy what Google has. It's nothing special, just a bit of padding and margin settings for result cards and whatnot.
Yeah this "Microsoft" group seems to be pretty established and it looks like they have decent resources.
And probably a lawyer or two to look things over.
