I tried Edge and bing, God awful. You just feel their desire to take control of your experience of the web.
On the flip site, made me see how much Google own us all.
- raytube 4y agoI use ddg everyday and I hate it. I resort to Google shortly after. Not personalised so I guess I am missing out on decent returns.
- K5EiS 4y agoI tried ddg, but i found myself adding !g a lot, so i just switched back.
- propogandist 4y agotry Brave’s search service
- manmal 4y agoHave you tried kagi? I‘m finding it better than ddg and often on paar with G.
- andyjohnson0 4y ago+1 for Kagi. It's been my default search engine since Jan '22 and I'm very happy with it. On the rare occasions when I use Bing or Google I'm reminded all over again why I'm happy to pay for search.
- manmal 4y agoI’m having the same experience. Anytime I’m not satisfied with kagi’s results, I try Google and that’s usually worse.
- jascination 4y agoWhat's wrong with Edge? I started using it when Chrome started eating my RAM, it's been mostly unobtrusive and unnoticed, like a good browser should be.
- tracker1 4y agoCan't speak for anyone else, for me I've mostly liked it. But I use a separate password manager (bitwarden) and disable most of the embedded addons (shopping, etc). So it's a bit mixed.
- tomp 4y agoI installed it on Mac to use Bing Chat. It immediately took over my whole screen, in a completely weird way that no native Mac app ever did before (in my experience, though I don't use that many Mac apps).
- emodendroket 4y agoHow much better could the memory profile really be if they’re using the same rendering engine?
- Tempest1981 4y agoEdge keeps trying to turn on sync-to-Microsoft. I keep saying no. Once, I think it turned it on without asking. I assume it has more telemetry than Chrome... anyone checked?
- alfor 4y agoI wanted to be the default browser, ok. It wanted to import all my info.. no thanks there was other nastyness I don’t remember. Then it showed me so much junk and crappy news on new page, it was pure propaganda. That was the end of it. I know it’s possible to configure all those things, but the starting experience was soo bad I got away quickly.
- coliveira 4y agoIt is classic microsoft behavior. They don't create apps, they create traps. The end goal is just to make people slaves of their software. The software they create is just "leverage" so they can trap more and more of you or your business.
- AJ007 4y agoI've been using perplexity.ai for anything that's not a site/company/person name look up.
