    I mean, if it’s just a switch to Bing it’s not really any better.

      I mean I see your point, but you cold also argue that anything that can weaken a monopoly is a good thing, in the grand scheme of things

        Who’s monopoly are we talking about? If that’s the goal then Firefox + DuckDuckGo would be more sensible right?

          DuckDuckGo’s search results suck, is there another alternative I can use that gets its indexes from google? I don’t care about censorship

            I think Ecosia pulls results from Bing if that’s any better? I use them occasionally but generally prefer DDG.

                Ah yeh, I tried StartPage for a while. IIRC the image results page wasn’t so great. Not many filter options and so on.

          100% but Microsoft and Google splitting 50 - 50 would be better than the current Google 90 - 9.9 - 0.1 it currently is.

      Search wise? No. Competition wise? Yes.

      Google has too much power.
