  Fuck, I remember when I was using Bing religiously unironicaly in the early 2010s during my Extremist Microsoft Loyalist phase.

    Loyalism, sure… We all know what’s the only reason to use Bing.

      I’m farming Microsoft Reward points with nonsensical searches for Overwatch coins. That’s the only true reason to use Bing

    Windows Phone’s UI is a hill I will die on, it was really nice! I actively missed it for a while when switching.

      The only thing a bit shitty was the Settings. It was like a mile long, not sure if it had search or not. Was a long time ago.

        I bet there’s a bunch of quality of life things I take for granted on android! I think you’re right about the search :)

  I love using Microsoft Edge on my gnu/linux machine /s

    It’s pretty good. Or atleast it was. I think with ai it’ll become worse.

    I’ve never even checked whether it’s available outside of windows. Is… is this actually possible?

      Edge actually runs great on Linux

        I think I have it installed on my Steam Deck

      Apparently, it is.

  When my work colleague opens his Edge browser it always shows a page with “news” and ads. Bro… I always think of that IT crowd episode where the guy says “if this were a person, I’d shoot it in the face”.

  • Flax_vert@feddit.uk ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    That’s just the default page on edge

      And I would take it as a bad sign of the people who are supposed to be the most tech savvy in the building can’t be bothered to take 3 seconds to change that.

  The bing homepage is so terrible

  I had a friend that used microsoft edge and bing because they were the default and said that firefox is the worst and edge is much better

  I did switch his default browser to firefox and search engine(on edge) to google(i wanted to switch to duckduckgo, but he hated it for no reason) while he was talking

    Can confirm. Even though everyone shits on Chrome for its liberal use of your RAM, Firefox will never suspend any pages, making it unusable when you’re multitasking.

    That’s an ongoing issue, too! Hasn’t been fixed for maybe a year at this point.

    • Lemminary@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      What are you doing that renders Firefox unusable? I’ve never had this issue in over a decade and I usually have 10+ tabs open.

      source

      • LazerFX@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        10? Try (currently) 98 across 9 windows, 2 desktops. Firefox just dies. Chrome works, but Edge (thanks to its more agressive backgrounder) handles it fine. Reopens windows after reboot/shutdown better too. And that number goes up if I’m researching something - I’ve been upwards of 200 across 3 or 4 desktops in the past, easily.

      At least in this context, handling a lot of tabs didnt matter because he had the startup option set to open the home page, not the previous pages and he doesnt use his pc enough to use this many tabs at once

  DuckDuckGo is pretty nifty

• corus_kt@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I keep clicking on that irritating Copilot AI button because Bing crammed it right in front where the image search tab usually is, and there’s no way to hide/turn it off. Nice

    You could probably block it using the element picker tool in ublock origin

  I actually use Ecosia, which is just privacy Bing that plants trees and rebuilds ecosystems.
