Why would that be interesting, they have no market share?
Bing has less than 3%, it operates at a loss. Not even MS cares about it and they just keep it around as a part of the technological suite that they have in order to convince the government that they are not a tech monopoly, even though everyone know they are. All big guys do this trick in one way or another.
For that reason I don't think one should compare DDG with anyone but google.
- diffeomorphism 7y agoOption 1: No other search engine besides google is even worth discussing. Discussion over, have a nice day. Boring. Option 2: Out of all the search engines competing with google, how is ddg positioned? Why is bing only 5 times its size considering it has MS's might behind it? How important is Baidu? Option 2 undoubtedly makes for more interesting discussion. Also, if Bing is only a distraction/hobby for MS, then alternative options become even more important.
