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

Searx is the best because its uses multiple search engines at the same time

Apparently porn as well.

Idk man. Bing Dorking isn't as good as Google's. They have similar operators but Google usually has better results.

Nice to see someone talking about this. I actually have been using bing for the last year because of this exact reason. Also when using a VPN, bing never gives me a captcha.

Can't say that's really an unpopular opinion. Bing had it's advantage over Google, that's for sure.

I think they care about DMCAs, for example my Lemmy instance for some reason is completely blocked on bing on behalf of some unspecified copyright troll

It's just most copyright trolls only care about Google and won't even bother sending the DMCA to bing

Thanks, I used to use Bing as my default search engine for a while and it sucked for anything if you needed more than the 1st page of results

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.

People use google bc they don't even know what they're doing when using a computer/phone

I'm no Microsoft fan boy, but I think Bing is better than Google at most things. The only thing I use google for now a days is a spell checker.

bing is great with results if you know the right keywords to use!

I use duckduckgo atm which I think gets some of its results from bing. I only ever go to Google to see the quick summaries without clicking to any page when you type "what's the weather" or "10 GBP to USD" and stuff like that

[–] supervent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

I just only know I have been using duckduckgo for years and for me is enough

Alternatives to Google, to YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Messenger, alternatives to Chromium/Chrome browsers - these are important things to be aware of.

SearXNG has search handled for me - scraping Bing and Google amongst others (and often I see Google results are low down on my list).

[–] dobeltip@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I use Startpage, it gave me the same result as Bing.

[–] xfunker@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I think its inferior because there are barely any search operators... Google has alot...

[–] Dillacorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I use Brave and occasionally Crowdview for questions... any reason why I should find a Searx instance instead?
