Idk man. Bing Dorking isn't as good as Google's. They have similar operators but Google usually has better results.

Searx is the best because its uses multiple search engines at the same time
Apparently porn as well.
Can't say that's really an unpopular opinion. Bing had it's advantage over Google, that's for sure.
Nice to see someone talking about this. I actually have been using bing for the last year because of this exact reason. Also when using a VPN, bing never gives me a captcha.
I'm no Microsoft fan boy, but I think Bing is better than Google at most things. The only thing I use google for now a days is a spell checker.
bing is great with results if you know the right keywords to use!
I use duckduckgo atm which I think gets some of its results from bing. I only ever go to Google to see the quick summaries without clicking to any page when you type "what's the weather" or "10 GBP to USD" and stuff like that
I don’t think this is unpopular. I just think people use Google because of the UI/UX and it being a better search engine for other things.
I use google because microsoft keeps trying to shove bing down my throat. I'd rather use a worse search engine than let them win.
I feel the same... I will make exactly zero difference, but it's my way of fighting back against shitty business practices
I agree that google is the best search engine for most things, I use it a lot, but for speficic thing like piracy (and porn) I found Bing to be superior and wanted to share this. Afterall IMO one of the principle of piracy is to avoid relying on a single service, and find the best suited thing for your needs.
People use google bc they don't even know what they're doing when using a computer/phone
I think they care about DMCAs, for example my Lemmy instance for some reason is completely blocked on bing on behalf of some unspecified copyright troll
It's just most copyright trolls only care about Google and won't even bother sending the DMCA to bing
Thanks, I used to use Bing as my default search engine for a while and it sucked for anything if you needed more than the 1st page of results
I just only know I have been using duckduckgo for years and for me is enough
Alternatives to Google, to YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Messenger, alternatives to Chromium/Chrome browsers - these are important things to be aware of.
SearXNG has search handled for me - scraping Bing and Google amongst others (and often I see Google results are low down on my list).
Think bing would be a good place to find a rip of Kevin Smith's movie "Red State"? I can't seem to find it anywhere with Google searches or with the pirate bay.
I pretty much exclusively use Google to search for reddit posts on niche stuff. I stick with google because DDG or any alternatives I tried don't have the Date of the searched reddit posts on the results.
I'd use Bing but all the links are purple and I can't fix it after googling fixes x.x

I use Startpage, it gave me the same result as Bing.
I use Brave and occasionally Crowdview for questions... any reason why I should find a Searx instance instead?
