It's impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing
And they force windows users to not use chrome

At least what you are looking for, is on the first page. With Google you get half a page of ads not relevant to your search, and two pages of SEO garbage, before you get to a relevant search.
The only thing bing is good for is watching porn and I will stand by that opinion.

I don't get malware and AI on firefox, but uBlock count's continually up. I know this behavior only from trash dump sites.
SearXNG is also amazing. The only reason I don't use it more is because it doesn't have an integration into the URL bar in Firefox.
Dude. When you're looking at whatever search just right click in the url bar and there will be an option to add that search engine. Then in settings you can make it your default if you wish.
The reason I don't use SearXNG is because the public instances always seem to be slow and or broken.

I wouldn't say it's borderline unusable tbh...
The first adware result is blocked with any ad blocker, the fact you see it means you might not have your ad blocker on, or disabled in incognito mode.
The second and third copilot bullshit sections can be toggled off from any search result page, on the sidebar settings there's a toggle.
I do appreciate the bing rewards thing, basically every few weeks I get a gift card because you earn points by using bing
Everything you’ve proposed as an easy fix would not apply to the vast majority of end users; the target audience.

If you know you want Logitech software, why not go directly to the Logitech site and search there?
I typed the URL that was literally printed in the packaging of a [new] Logitech mouse, and the page didn't exist! Like, how?!‽
Sometimes brand websites are done well and you find what you're looking for within a few clicks, but more often than that, the website will be a horrendous experience.
Google search results used to usually bring up the direct link to the download page on that brand's website. Pretty much as the first search result.
To be fair, that also was a time where brand websites were really bad.
