minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years ago I mean, if it’s just a switch to Bing it’s not really any better. Search wise? No. Competition wise? Yes. Google has too much power.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoI mean I see your point, but you cold also argue that anything that can weaken a monopoly is a good thing, in the grand scheme of things
minus-squareidotherocklinkfedilinkEnglish4•2 years agoWho’s monopoly are we talking about? If that’s the goal then Firefox + DuckDuckGo would be more sensible right?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoDuckDuckGo’s search results suck, is there another alternative I can use that gets its indexes from google? I don’t care about censorship
minus-squareidotherocklinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoI think Ecosia pulls results from Bing if that’s any better? I use them occasionally but generally prefer DDG.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoI use StartPage but it’s incredibly slow.
