Edit: downvotes from people I can only assume are mad that they’ve been tracked by Microsoft this whole time and can’t figure out how to properly channel their anger
It’s a sad day when Bing is better than Google, but we’ve been there for a while. Not to say either is good, I switched to a self hosted SearXNG a while ago and it’s so much better.
Not the person you’re replying to, but you could try DuckDuckGo
Ddg is crap. I pretty much immediately went back to google.
Thought the same thing too… until I learned how to use it lol
Duck is powered by bing and does not block all microsoft trackers with whom they have a partnership.
Bookmark trusted websites and sources and accept that almost all alternative search engines use google/bing, are compromised.
If you are particularly paranoid run your own searxng instance on a anonymously owned server.
That’s just Bing with extra slop

I consistently get much worse results with DDG/Bing than Google.
Edit: downvotes? My personal experience is wrong?
From the guy going into the profiles of people they disagree with in order to downvote unrelated posts…

If you’re still using Google I don’t think you should be complaining about the AI slop elsewhere.
You might note that I’m not suggesting alternatives that are just as sloppy and worse overall.
I did note that you are not suggesting alternatives, yes.
I would if I had found anything better.
Poorer results while not bending the knee to facists sounds better to me, but you do you.
So what search engine are you using?
