Thanks to this post, I changed my search engine in Vivaldi to DuckDuckGo, and Edge uses Bing already, and I changed Mull's engine to Ecosia. Phew! Now I feel better.
Google when did you get so crummy?
If you are going to use Bing, may I suggest you use Ecosia (ecosia.org). They plant trees the more searches you make and use Bing on the backend.
What's their privacy policy like?
Searx is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled. Additionally, searx can be used over Tor for online anonymity.

Doesn't Bing use ChatGPT, though?
ChatGPT isn't the problem here. Some website has something up saying that's what ChatGPT responds, but I tried it and it did not. Instead, it corrected me.
Google, on the other hand, is still saying the same thing quoting the same site.
And duck is based on bing
The topic isn't even true.
Yep it's a post about somebody typing a dumb query into a search engine and getting dumb results. Search engines have always worked better when you use more specific and unique language that's relevant to what you're looking for, versus vague questions entered like some grandma asking a question on Facebook.
