I started using it this year because its actually been giving me decent results unlike google. We're...in a dark timeline
Hmm. I have an incredibly strong aversion to everything Microsoft, so even giving Bing a chance is difficult. However, I must admit that I can recognize the part about Google not delivering. I even went so far as to tamper with the CSS recently just to make Google's results slightly easier to parse.
Maybe it's time to try something new 🤔 I just wish the only viable alternative wasn't made by Microsoft 😓🤢
Dark timeline, indeed! 😔
No kidding, the only other options ive found are
Duckduckgo, which is serviceable but kind of bad, and
Kagi, which is looking promising and has lots of features i enjoy, but paying for a search engine is a hard sell.
Check out Kagi, paid search is extremely worth it. Stop being a product to sell and start being a customer.
