Google is way to compliant to DMCA request resulting in bad result. Bing doesnt seems to care and will happily link to live and replay of sport event (the main reason I use it personnaly) even as a first result.

PS : If you’re french dont forget to change your DNS or any quality site will not load

That’s not an unpopular opinion. It’s a known fact for years.

Neutral opinion: any opinion can be popular or unpopular if posed to the right (or wrong) audience

Clearly, I shouln’t have posted this as an “Unpopular opinion” but rather as a PSA or general advice, my bad. Just something i thought as something people should know. Also I’m sure there is better search engine out there so please share away !

Woah, friend. This is unpopular opinion, not crazy opinion. You need to calibrate or leave. Friend.

Just because something is old knowledge doesn’t mean it’s common knowledge!

People get so weird about that. Yeah I knew, but before I knew, I didn’t.

because they are focused on themselves. They don’t want to see on a public forum an information they already know, not thinking that this information may be useful to others. It’s the Me Me Me attitude.

Knowing about something before others (and bragging about it) gives people a feeling of self-satisfaction.

After seeing this comic for the first time years ago I always try to keep it in mind when someone tells me they are just learning about something. We all learn similar things for the first time only at different parts of our lives and being able to be a part of helping someone learn something new is a great feeling.

I got to show my niece and nephew the diet coke and mentos thing. It has become a core memory for the 3 of us and was one of my top 10 funnest days of my life. Sharing knowledge is fun.

Right! I didn’t know about it. It makes me wonder about which other things I don’t know because people don’t share it thinking it’s common knowledge.

I don’t think this is unpopular. I just think people use Google because of the UI/UX and it being a better search engine for other things.

I use google because microsoft keeps trying to shove bing down my throat. I’d rather use a worse search engine than let them win.

I feel the same… I will make exactly zero difference, but it’s my way of fighting back against shitty business practices

I agree that google is the best search engine for most things, I use it a lot, but for speficic thing like piracy (and porn) I found Bing to be superior and wanted to share this. Afterall IMO one of the principle of piracy is to avoid relying on a single service, and find the best suited thing for your needs.

It is vastly superior for porn and the “+” for “must include” and “-” for “must not include” work far more often than Google’s modifiers. Not 100% but close enough.

It’s a great search engine for most things not work safe, Google will always be there for my technical questions but Bing is the GOAT for the devil on my shoulder.
