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.
Something really cool you can do though is block sites from showing up in the results.
So if you’re looking up Linux answers for instance and you keep coming across “First of all, what is a Linux, we’re going to…” Ai slop sites, you can click thr 3 dots next to the result and tell it to blacklist that site.
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.
Go on…

Unfortunately even most DDG results are just ai slop now.

Not perfect, but definitely helps!
Google isn’t as good as it was and bing isn’t as bad as it once was

DDG seems fairly gentle about pushing it though.
Meh
