tech savvy ppl and non-techy ppl both dont like Edge, Bing and copilot
Something about Microsoft UI just feels so off for some reason. Material UI, Apple stuff all feels good to use but clicking on a button in Microsoft UI is just... bad.
Windows-only users would never know, but people who've either used a modern mac or linux computer will understand.
Or windows users that have been around 20 plus years....
Really it is sad just how bad its all gone.
It makes me think of Fisher Price toys.
yeah it does really feel plasticky in the worst way
What I find interesting is when typically non tech savvy people start using things like Brave.
Goes to show how shit the tech industry is
In my experience non-techy people just don't know what Edge and Bing are.
You forgot the panel where the tech savvy people wash their hands afterwards
Edge is just Chromium now (so worth hating still, but for different reason), and Bing has its uses. Hell, isn’t DuckDuckGo basically Bing?
Bing has its uses
Porn?
Also yes.
Also
Go on...
Like I said, it’s one of the engines that drive DuckDuckGo. These days I only turn to Google on the rare occasion that DuckDuckGo fails me, so Bing gets some appreciation from me there.
Google isn't as good as it was and bing isn't as bad as it once was
Not just DuckDuckGo - the majority of search engines and voice assistants that aren't Google use data from Bing. It's the largest search engine that has a public API. Even search engines that have their own index usually use Bing to supplement their results.
Id feel better about DuckDuckGo if it wasnt shoehorning ai
DDG seems fairly gentle about pushing it though.
Meh
There is noai.duckduckgo.com at least? Yeah, meh. Still American.
Qwant/Ecosia team up for new European search engine development waiting room.
Yup. Never understood the Bing hate, they got better years ago. DDG is a source in my SearXNG instance, does fine.
Tech savvy people like Duckduckgo, Duckduckgo uses Bing under the hood
I host my own search engine lol.
Ah, finally someone using the European open Search index?
No lol. SearXNG. But would look up what you mentioned
SearXNG is not a search engine. It is a Frontend for everything from Google to bing.
Ik that. I was talking in terms of a layman.
i like edging
Yeah, this is "tech" "savvy" people, not actual people who understand tech.
The current version of Edge is literally just Chrome with extra bells and whistles.
Did I tell anyone about that time that I use arch?
Non tech savvy people don't care which browser they're using. A lot of them do actually use Edge, since it comes with Windows.
Google is fucking unusable as a search engine now. Bing is literally better now if you block the AI part.
Was searching for something very simple. Google literally wouldn't find it. Changed the search terms multiple times.
Tried bing and it literally popped up as the first result with the same first search I tried on Google.
This isn't a one time thing either. Give me an alternate to Bing. But Google is literally hot garbage now.
Bing is a better search engine than Google, but both are pale imitations of their former selves. It's amazing how bad search has gotten in the last ~5 years
Edge is actually pretty great. Bing…well, the image search is okay.
Don't knock Bing Videos, either. It's the best porn search engine in existence.
On my work computer I actually use Edge over Chrome since it has vertical tabs by default.
I'm pretty tech savvy, I daily drive Arch and I don't use Firefox or anything based on Gecko. Meme doesn't check out.
I love edge...

I'm using Edge and Bing right now, on Windows 11
clearly, either ragebait or Microsoft rewards.
Where is Vivaldi?
I know this is the wrong place for this but I like edge.
Im dumb, whats the w logo?
Waterfox. It started out as a 64-bit build of Firefox for Windows, back when Mozilla didn't offer that yet. These days, I believe, it just offers a few different defaults...
