Stop trying to make Bing happen. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
I like that it exists. I don't use it, nor do I plan to, but I like Google having more competition.
I personally use DuckDuckGo, another Google competitor.
Which also relies on Bing on the backend.
Sure, but it has other unique features that make it different and nicer to use than Bing.
Sweaty desperation by Microsoft
I use Bing on the regular for the points but Firefox for everything else.
Bing AI is great
What are you using instead?
