Why did you switch from Bing as a search tool?
Does Bing harvest and sell your personal purchase list too?
I don’t want to use AI as my default search tool, because I expect AI to usually have a built in liberal bias, but I have no choice with my Moto G phone.
______________

AI gets my search results 5x quicker than Bing & Google
Bing harvests but not as bad as evil google that is 3x worse
My phone I use Brave for its ad-blocking. Then use bing search within Brave.

I do AI searches on my PC computers but not my samsung phone. Because AI searches are detailed, are not absorbable on those tiny screens. Those shit screens are custom made for furtive ADD powered skimming & scanning the internet.

Wow! How much is google making?

FTA: Apple currently rakes in about $20 billion annually from its share of revenue from Google searches made from Safari on Apple devices.

AI>>>>

Google pays Apple about $20 billion per year to keep Google as the default search engine in Safari on iPhones, iPads, and Macs. This figure was confirmed by court documents and testimony during recent antitrust trials, with the most recent payment reported for 2022. The deal is a major source of revenue for Apple and a key part of Google’s strategy to maintain its dominance in online search.

You should be able to choose a different search engine? I just got a moto and playing with that now...
