Another reason you shouldn’t use Bing is because of the fact that Microsoft changed (or tried to change) a user’s default search engines to Bing in order to help them gain more market share. Cnet’s Dennis O’Reilly caught ‘Windows Search Helper’ trying to change his default Firefox search from Google to Bing. Not cool Microsoft.
While this isn’t really Bing’s fault, it is definitely a reason why it’s probably never going to be as popular as Google. Google was started way back in 1999, towards the beginning of the internet as we know it today. However, Microsoft only started rolling our their version of a search engine in 2005.
Do you use Bing without even knowing it?
That’s right: if you use Windows or Office, you probably use Bing without even realizing it. However, do you think Google would be willing to lend their search technology over to Microsoft to integrate into Windows and Office?
So it’s really not that Bing is a bad search engine or a crappy search engine; it is that Bing is a small search engine, compared to Google.
Why is Bing taking over my browser?
