IMO Bing as a search engine

My opinion is violently NEGATIVE.

Their slogan should be:
Spend Less Time Doing And More Time Searching useless unrelated trash.

The Bing auto correct was designed by a team of demented politically correct anal retentive gerbils.

the main reason bing does not suck is---Bing is not tracking you.
I often search just by images and find what im looking for.

Google tracking ads can be eliminated by ad blocker plus or whatever program you want to use. I tried bing once or twice.. never again. Its slow, ugly, and bloated.

That market share pic whunter is amazing. I'm astounded people still use yahoo search.

What is this Bing thing, some Blasphemy?

There is only one God, and he is Google.

Lol @ google ad on bottom of the page.

Do you have a suggestion on a good search engine that doesn't track your searches? I've tried DuckDuckGo but it was vastly inferior to google.

It's fairly easy to opt out of tracking on Google, and as long as you don't stay signed in to gmail, you're good to go.

Jeebus. I guess so. I just tried it and typed in a semi racy term to search images. Got three porn and porn chat popups along with my search results which were, admittedly, impressive. Not doing that again without a proxy

IMO Google Chrome is a disaster, three of my critical work programs fail if it is installed.

More than a few members will fail to understand your proxy reference.
Personally I consider it risky to use one.
