The big difference is that at that point of time Google search used to be really good but now Google search is really bad so if there is a chance for another competitor in the market, that time is now.
- ants_everywhere 2y agoYeah Bing really isn't bad. And LLMs are basically search engines for most use cases. I think Mozilla should just run an ad auction to choose the search engine. Bing/MS would pay to capture market share, and Google would pay to prevent Bing from gaining ground. So let them fight it out.

- ants_everywhere 2y agoAn exclusive deal is different from an auction.
- ffgjgf1 2y agoIMHO that’s mainly because the modern open/public internet kind of sucks. The ratio of content to garbage is extremely bad
- firesteelrain 2y agoMaybe. I recall searching the heck out stuff from 2000-2004 for CompSci looking for solutions to homework problems in code. There were a lot of spam sites.
- ljm 2y agoCircular problem I think, considering a lot of the garbage is a product of SEO and exists solely to game Google’s increasingly poor ranking algorithm.
