“...I knew they were biased...years ago...”

Same - I figured it out years ago as well. Are most people so dumb that they are just now finding this out? (scary) I use Bing, probably not much better than google - how is duckduckgo?

I have used several of the listed. None are perfect. But, I find dogpile the best. What I don't know and others here probably do, is which are influenced or out-rightly owned by Google?A slick maneuver by google.Obviously I want to avoid them altogether.

INteresting comments here:

And Bing is big! The second-largest search engine by market share in the US, and one of the 50 most visited sites on the internet, according to Alexa rankings. (That’s the Amazon-owned analytics site, not the Amazon-made voice assistant.) I wanted to know how those people experienced the web, how much of a difference it makes when a different set of algorithms decides what knowledge you should see. The internet is a window on the world; a search engine warps and tints it.

There’s also never been a better time to give Bing an honest appraisal. If Google’s data-hoovering didn’t creep you out before, its attitude toward location tracking and Google+ privacy failings should. And while privacy-focused search options like DuckDuckGo go further to solve that problem, Bing is the most full-featured alternative out there. It’s the logical first stop on the express train out of Googletown.

A minor spoiler: This isn’t an excuse to dunk on Bing. It’s also not an extended “Actually, Bing Is Good” counterpoint. It’s just one person’s attempt to figure out what Bing is today, and why.

truth be told-—— the elitest liberals have been manipulating public opinion for a generation! Bill Clinton was paying tas dollars to Hollywood and TV producers to insert liberal memes into popular programming in the NINETIES, and it hasn’t slowed one damn bit.
