Google sucks so bad that I switched to Bing. BING!

You'd be better off selfhosting something like searxNG

You’re a decade late on that, Bing isn’t good anymore

[–] bokherif@lemmy.world 2 points 13 minutes ago (1 children)

Honestly nothing is good anymore. Every search engine brings up the same SEO optimized dogshit articles. I sometimes use Arc browser but that’s not really that different than asking ChatGPT.

It’s so obnoxious. I hate researching a topic only to be fed results leading to useless AI spam. The entire thing is clogged up like this. Searching on the internet absolutely sucks, now.

DuckDuckGo for day-to-day stuff, Bing for naughty content.

Duckduckgo is bing. They route their searches there afaik. It's just a privacy layer, like startpage is a privacy layer on Google.

Duckduckgo also has bangs, which I consider an essential feature.

Although I use SearXNG instead, since their equivalent is a lot more customisable (although less bangs out of the box).

[–] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 minutes ago* (last edited 1 minute ago)

I don't think that's true. They are using the index of bing, but the search results are not. At least that's what I heard, no idea if it's factual or not.

Careful saying that round these parts, you'll summon the ducks.
