While I understand the sentiment, I think you might want to describe why you think Bing is better then Google in 2023. Is your frame quality of results, privacy, usability, etc?
‘Better’ is kind of hard to define in this situations, where both products are designed to vacuum up as much private information about you as possible in order put targeted ads in the search results (creating a conflict of interest between the user and the service)
15 years ago with the current state of search engines I would have said I would be willing to subscribe to a search engine that’s not disgustingly infested with advertising on the back end of things and actually just worked like google did in like 2000-2003. A search engine that indexed the web and tried to display the best result for a query, not the most promoted one. Where the biggest concern for quality was people gaming the system (before that was deeply rebranded as a positive thing, “seo”) and google actually taking steps to fight against it instead of embracing it and just charging money to openly promote like 50%+ of the first page. Back when you could actually get a list of all the results instead of this nonsense now where it’s an endlessly extending single page so if you go to a link deep in the results without opening a new tab you lose your place and start over.
But now I have 10 million services asking me to subscribe and from experience I know that the subscription payments won’t stop them from letting advertising intrude on compromising the quality of the product anyway so fuck that. The only thing I would possibly trust them to remove is visible ads and obviously promoted listings but otherwise it would just look like the search page with an adblocker. Still useless at its core because they’ve let the admen infect their search algorithm and remove any sense of objectivity for years now
Bing search is fine, but there’s so many annoyances, like constant popups to use their chat AI and open links in new tab always resetting to on
Is it? I have never used it on purpose , so i wouldn’t know. But I have never found the need to use it. Why do you?
