Unpopular opinion : Bing is a better search engine than Google when it comes to piracy
Google is way to compliant to DMCA request resulting in bad result.
Bing doesnt seems to care and will happily link to live and replay of sport event (the main reason I use it personnaly) even as a first result.
PS : If you're french dont forget to change your DNS or any quality site will not load
DDG also partly buys results from Bing, so more good results with none privacy abuse. I only switch back to google when searching for images, DDG sucks at finding images.
I suppose it's all a trade-off, and each of us has to try to make informed choices based on what matters most to them. I don't think there's a right answer.
I've been using Bing chat allot. I got the extension that lets me use it on Firefox. It's insanely useful, and I feel like it's getting better with time as it learns. I still use DuckDuckGo for search though, although I've been using search less and less as Bing chat gets better.
