I am the only one that use Linux and bing as a default search? (On firefox) I personally think bing have better results than google right now
Check out some alternatives:
searXNG - open source & self-hosted meta-search engine (aggregates results from many others, like google, bing, qwant, duckduckgo - configurable which ones.) list of public instances just pick one that's close to you physically and has a good uptime.
duckduckgo - uses bing for most search results, but is way more private
brave search - uses their own index, has a privacy-respecting privacy policy and the results are pretty damn good
I already know Searxng but never tried extensively, I might give a serious try
I've used duckduckgo but I remember was really slow loading results 🤔
For brave search, I've never took it seriously, I should try also this if you say results are good. But how they found themselves?
