There's an alternate timeline in which I actually give Bing and Edge a chance because Microsoft's not flinging their feces at their users constantly the way they are now
It’s wild because Bing is generally quite good now, but I switched away from it recently because it kept trying to advertise edge…
Meanwhile edge tries to advertise “pay later” schemes and really gets in your face about bing…
It was a really good time when the new chromium edge just came out and was a lean, quick and bs-free browser with a few power user features.
