It’s better because Bing may still have selling ads as a priority when building the indexer. If you’re not the one paying, you’re the product.

It changes the question from “why not use duck” to “what does duck really add to bing”

@eltimablo @throws_lemy @xilliah @rastilin what it removes from bing: tracking, and personalized results. I believe it also adds the bang search, which few if any other places have.

Well they have a sensible business model and can provide another stream of income for Bing from users it otherwise wouldn’t reach.
