I think the thing that helped Google dominate the search engine business is its simplicity. Just a logo, a search bar, and maybe a few of those frequent link icons. All on a white background. No scroll bars, no app icons, no links to today's news, etc. Google never tried to be a portal like Bing or Yahoo, yet I bet a majority of users have Google as their default home page. Microsoft and Yahoo still don't get it. It's not about what's under the covers. It's about the first thing you see.
Bing is still not as bad as their Edge web browser. It was my default browser at work to start, after we got a system upgrade, but I copied all my links and went back to Chrome. Microsoft Edge is 98% clickbait when you open a new tab.
Well I don't know about Yahoo but Bing has gotten really simpler. From don't know what's going on with the old Edge Bing to pretty on par with Google, emphasis on pretty. Plus the news side of Bing is really better than Google's news side. Also Bing has it in for itself with customization vs Google.
I think bings generative search tool is incredibly helpful, I’ve been switching between bard from Google and bings chat function and just found that (outside of searching for things on RUclips) Bing searches are just simply better answers. I work with tech and have to troubleshoot things regularly, so having a tool that I can use to help me troubleshoot issues has been a huge timesaver
One of the big reasons for Google's adoption in the early days was its exceptionally streamlined user interface. Google was the first search page that showed the search results and only the search results on the page. They didn't have a ton of ads or GIFs all over the page. It was clean. It worked.
I worked at the reference desk at a public library in the early 2000s. Everyone there ended up using Google because we simply found it superior to all the others.
At this point, it is Google's game to lose. For a few years, searches have been getting worse and worse. The first page or two or three are just sponsored links, and then you only get the most standard links to wikipedia or reddit. The search engine is decaying and it is leaving room for someone to step in and take marketshare from them.
Clearly their strategy is there becoming less of a internet search engine and more of a product and Advertiser for companies that pay them for ad space so in a way they're becoming more and more just a billboard
You know the other thing I find perplexing about Google search engine if you search for a certain title or a movie and at the bottom of the page it'll say like Google found 100,000 then why is it by the time you get to the third page they just start repeating the same websites from the first page and if you go any Pages beyond that the pages that are displayed to you are not even close to relevant to what you're searching for
I work in tech, and I find that if I need to get Microsoft specific information (such as researching obscure Windows features, etc.) Bing is more likely to give me the info I need.
I do the same thing, Google has a bad tendency to direct me to dead reddit posts or random forums where I have to sift around for my answer, where Bing usually just plants the information up at the top like "Hey dummy, do this."
Huh, I found the opposite to be true at times. Like if I wanted to download a Microsoft app or iso, Bing would seem to show me anything but, and Google's first result would be the Microsoft site download page of whatever I was looking for.
Seriously? Comparing MICROSOFT to GOOGLE is like comparing “republicans” vs “democrats” when it comes down to digitizing dollars to bankrupt the country - in fact - both Globalist Corporations “curate” (CENSOR!) search results to push the narrative of the corporate/government symbiot! And we found out that DuckDuck was drawing from the plan when they too started pushing the “Ukraine war” searches to favor the country that paid $5 million to the Bidens so they could get BILLION$$$ of taxpayer’s confiscated income… GET REAL! FOLLOW THE MONEY!
Gotta disagree, I left it off once and then searched for something mundane a few days later. My eyes were seared by horrifying Rule 34 stuff of the mundane thing I searched for. Seems that Bing thinks that content filer off = you must be looking for porn.
@@ACoolKidsProduction okay, but the trade off is inaccurate search results. The nsfw is just the casualty when it comes to better search results from bing.
I think it has something to do with how he talks. There's nothing pretentious about it, he doesn't pretend to have all the answers, he's just some dude who researched some stuff and shows it to us.
I loved having multiple search engines to choose from back in the day. It was cool seeing all the different ones mentioned, and I know that I used every single one of them at one time or another, especially, Altavista, Excite, and AskJeeves. Their different approaches to searching gave different result sets that actually made it easier to find information, at least from my experience.
Actually, I wouldn't write off "Bing with AI" all too fast. They do have a qualitative advantage, that may change the game over the next few months. Also, I noticed people have started to talk more negatively about the quality of Google's search results recently. They seem to focus more on making their search product better for the advertisers, but less so for the consumers, and in combination with Microsoft's AI advantage, that may yet prove to be a costly mistake.
As someone who works in marketing and a lot of that through paid search, it isn't improving things for advertisers unless you have deep deep pockets. It is making it better for Google to take money from businesses though
I agree. I personally like both the key point I love about Bing with AI a search engine that can also become a browser for just light browsing and downloading stuff as well. Has one of the best layouts as well. Google as someone said is usually the default on most phones but the key is also a perfect blend of both
12:35 I was one of the people who switched from google to bing (and even chrome to edge) and I've actually liked it so far - Bing search (and bing image creator) are super cool and useful for me, although I'm not sure if it's quite enough to pull a large portion of people over.
@@blingbling574 - exactly! I can always tell when I've stumbled on Bing by mistake because all my search queries turn out to be for porn.... "The Number One Search Engine For Porn" is Bullyboi Ballmer legacy. 🤣🤣🤣
Me too. I bought a new computer not long ago, and I noticed that Chrome was running slower and slower. So I some what reluctantly tried Edge and was surprised how fast it was. Bing followed. I use Firefox as a backup. I don't know if slow Chrome is a fluke, but something is definitely wrong in Mountainview.
Recently I like using Bing, especially Bing Chat. Google search result sometimes doesnt really answer my search, because the top result is just good at seo and then full of unimportant stuff. Say, you want to search for a recipe. With Bing Chat it will give you the recipe, but Google top result will have full page of some random story (and ads) and then at the bottom you will find the recipes
Even though I prefer Google for most searches, I like Bing as an alternative search engine and I find more useful information that Google doesn’t have! I’m glad that Bing and Yahoo exists as rivals to Google, because I can’t stand monopolies in web search engines! Competition helps innovation online!
My thoughts exactly. The mere existence of Bing and Yahoo is necessary in my opinion. If they didn't exist, it's possible Google may have made changes to their search engine that end up being anti-consumer, intentional or otherwise. The possibility of Bing and the others getting market share and users from any potential bad decisions on the part of Google helps keep Google honest and at its best
@@redwarrior4226 especially when Google has made bad decisions in recent years with their censorship policies, I’ve used Bing and yahoo for months to search uncensored articles, this is why competition helps creative freedom!
@@ReddoFreddo Yahoo is actually still very big in Japan and a few other countries. However, their search engine ceased being independent a long time ago, now they mostly use a combination of Bing and Google to provide results.
I’ve used bing a couple of times and I don’t know if I noticed a significant difference from Google. I think the problem is that Google is the default on my safari browsers (like if I type in the address bar it uses google) and I’ve always been too lazy to switch things lol
It really depends on what you're looking for. I know for programming questions, Google does better. I would presume similar for other niche topics. I do know a lot of people have tried Bing. Especially for rewards and product searches. The Google results for product searches is often just bad. Not to mention way too many paid results in the mix. When it was two or so and especially when they were in the side I didn't mind so much.
yea me too..i just reset my laptop and my default search engine is bing now...but not gonna lie bing is actually fun...i can customize almost everything since it has too many icons and i hate those icons idk why
As a former Bing user due to Bing Rewards (and Google user before that), I actually use Presearch nowadays because it's modular - letting me search individual sites or engines - Google and Bing included, with a single click and more accurately than Google's advanced search - it's also really simple to pick which site searches I want on the list. But the Presearch results themselves are usually best for me. I personally thing the accuracy of Google results has gone down in recent years in various places - but their image search is still the best one to me. Reverse image search is *especially* convenient.
TinEye has always been my favorite reverse image search. As far as I know they were the first to the party, launching their site about fifteen years ago. Their algorithm is by far the best. Their only downside is they don't have the sheer brute force resources that Google has for crawling the web, so their results often contain dead links in addition to current results. Yandex comes in second. Though I've noticed their reverse image search seems to lean heavily into facial recognition. If there's a person in the photo you're searching, Yandex will try its hardest to find other photos with that person in it. Fairly neat...if not a bit unsettling. They're a Russian company, which may or may not bother some people. Google's reverse image search has always seemed half-baked to me (especially after the latest update to it that tries to identify products in the photos to direct you to online stores, which seems to have crippled it more than anything). It doesn't do a good job of finding other variations/aspect ratios of the same image, and seems to _force_ a keyword search into the results, which skews what is shown. Still a useful tool, but not nearly as good as some of the competition.
@@NoName-ik2du Yeah, Google Reverse Image Search seems to be for finding the name of what you're looking for. TinEye is still better at finding where the image itself can be found online, which is usually what I want.
I've been using Google for much longer than Bing so it is what I keep using. I also have my Google accounts all set up the way I want them and use many other Google products. I also have an Android phone and my search history is synchronized across my devices which can be helpful. The only thing I ever use Bing for is reverse image searches as an additional check with doing it using Google or Tineye and I also use Bing for, well, um, adult stuff. They seem to hide less of what I'm looking for when doing those searches.
@@YourChannel-r4v looking for the opposite of milf pics myself, but can report that Bing finds shit that Google doesn't 😂 pretty eye-opening! Fresh adult content is always nice!
For me it has replaced google in many ways. I find myself opening google to search for something just because I'm used to for so many years and after 2 or 3 pages that I open I still can't find what I'm looking for, then I remember that I have Bing Ai and in one question I get the info I wanted.
I've noticed that duck duck go has better results than bing and pretty similar ones to google which is a great alternative since google has too many ads where I have to scroll to get to the first actual result. If I have something specific, bing chat with gpt4 is great because it keeps context so its much easier to specify what you want
DDG has better results but they admitted that they store and sell user data, which defeats the sole purpose they were founded on and lost them a lot of support
This is hilarious. A co-worker of mine was trying to use Bing to search for something while at work, but got frustrated because of some glitch that happened while he was making the search. This was like 20 minutes before I knew this video was uploaded 😂
This is funny. For what it is, I've never had a problem with Bing, but at some point in the past day or two, Bing just stopped working for me. An interesting shared experience XD Must have been a gremlin
I started using Duck Duck Go for privacy reasons. As a search engine I find it works pretty well but I still find myself using google when looking up business addresses and phone numbers as the results are easier to see and intuitive to automatically dial on a smart phone. Otherwise I’m kinda tired of being tracked everywhere on the internet. Whether Duck Duck Go stays the leader in that market I think more people are becoming more mindful of online privacy and Google and Microsoft are some of the worse in the industry when it comes to sharing and collecting data on its user base.
More the reason of using DDG, Just like BING, A great alternative to google!!! Do not like google search? Start with studying, and looking into a Alternative Search engine that suits you, Choose wisely!!! a grand PSA, By Hamtaro126!!!
That's how the internet is build. What do we even lose on this 'being tracked'? All we get is relevant ads... and in return we get amazing products for free. I just don't understand why people bother with this.
@@maxjames00077 A) Because I don't even want ads, even for things I care about, and B) Privacy. I don't want my search history stored because it is nobodies business. Nobody should have to justify as to why their search history should remain private.
@@WillSmith-wg4hs its not about whether you have to justify it or not. No one is obligated to use the products of Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft etc etc. I just don't understand why you care. Privacy, I got that from your first comment too. But why? What do you lose? Is there some specific? Or just don't like the feeling of a company having a record of you when you searched for the last recipe for a dinner? I'm genuinely interested in what this is. Google being a million times better than duck duck, why would one not use a search engine or products that make your life easier. I assume you have close to no apps on your phone and definitely not an android phone?
In the TV show "Hawaii Five-0", I just remember how off the character named Chin Ho Kelly sounded when he said "Bing it" when his cousin asked about an art piece. That show had a lot of Microsoft product placements.
I tried to use Bing because sometimes Google didn't find what I was looking for (and I ended up finding it on Bing), but I ended up going back to Google because, while on Google I just needed to use Bing once in a while to find something, on Bing I had to Google something all the time, and I ended up going back. Today I only use Bing if I can't find something on Google, and occasionally for adult content and reverse image. I also think the ChatGpt + Google combination is much better than BingGPT
Request for a video: Voodoo Doughnuts. They’re a donut shop with only 17 locations nationwide but they’re quite bizarre. They’re somehow open 24/7 despite only selling donuts but they also have their own merch and a quite bizarre aesthetic. Could be the beginning of a big chain.
After watching this video and just for fun I changed the default search engine on my Google Chromebook using Chrome to use Bing. I do use Microsoft 365 Online with my Chromebook so the Google is not getting all my money. Mike, as usual, another great thought-provoking video
I lived in mainland China for a couple of years, and would use Bing a lot (it wasn't blocked, unlike Google). Also, I found it a bit strange you didn't mention Baidu, which is by far the most popular search engine in China.
I like the old Bing memes how Bing search results were literal and kinda dark and humorous. I also like modern Bing AI integration it personally drew me away from Google. Microsoft seems to innovate more than Google. Bing is slower though compared to Google especially on slow wifi or sketchy mobile data regions. I don't like how crowded Bing is with news and bloat pop ups but I can customize it to make it more minimalist. I like the Bing rewards. The switch to Bing has been nice and smooth especially since they are both chromium based. Google is more refined but I feel Bing is more innovative. I recommend you give it a try
Google has essentially become a monopoly and their search engine suffers for it. The amount of ads or "sponsored" results is just getting ridiculous and extremely intrusive. They went from wanting to redirect people to the most appropriate website to attempting to keep people on google as much as possible through all their in page widgets/tools. In a lot of instance, you get the information from X website but since you didn't click on the actual link they get none of the traffic as you only ever interacted with google. Those websites are doing all the legwork but google gets all the benefits
I still remember the AltaVista commercials that typed in full question sentences as search queries, lol. But yeah, "google" is a verb; no one says "I'll bing it". 😉
I use Bing just for the Microsoft Rewards points which basically pays for half of my Gamepass cost. I don't find the results to be any worse than Google. Hell, there used to be times I searched on Google and would have to switch to Bing to find better results.
I was a die-hard Yahoo user for years. Around 2010 or so, I found that Yahoo seemed to be deteriorating, so I tried Google. I now use Google quite a bit, haven't been to Yahoo in years, and I often use Google to google Bing. I hope that made sense.
I remember when MSN search became Bing, Microsoft did a Bing vs Google ad campaign website where you do 5 web searches with 2 different results from both search engines and you have to choose which results you liked better. I decided to try it with some more obscure anime stuff and the results were Google giving better results 3 out of 5 times.
I am watching this on a laptop running Ubuntu and I use Firefox as a browser. For business searches I use Google. For personal stuff I use Duck Duck Go. My first computer didn't have a mouse or a GUI. It didn't even have a hard drive, everything ran on 5.25" floppy disks. How far we have come in 35 years. Now you can carry a computer in your pocket and everyone has a camera on them at all times.
The only time I use a search engine that isn't google is for reverse image search (yandex or bing) or if I suspect google's results are censored or manipulated which they usually are.
Personally, the reason I don't use Bing, is just because I've always used Google, and don't really see a reason to change.They both seem to do the same stuff, and I already use one of them, so why change.
The tide is starting to turn for Google though. After years of using google search exclusively, I switched to bing for work a few months ago. Google search result quality has steadily declined while Bing has improved. The addition of AI integration tipped the scale both for me an a lot of people I know. Even for non-work personal use I've been using Bing more and more, something that would have been unthinkable a year ago.
Fun Fact: my brother in law worked for Microsoft in the bing content department (basically checking to see that no uncensored NSFW pics/terms came up in general search). he uses google
I've been I've been using Google far longer than Bing every now and again I tried Bing for a short period of time before falling back into the habit of just googling it. It's just a hard habit to break not using Google
The competition gets healthier between Google and Microsoft. Google soars high but I love the evolution of Microsoft, specifically their internet services. I love their growth from Internet Explorer to Edge as browsers and from MSN Search to bing as search engines. The inclusion of Bing Chat in Edge is a brilliant idea!
When google vs bing was out, I just put "hi" for both, Google showed that it was a greeting and the synonyms, Hello, Howdy etc. etc. Bing tried to correct it to Hawaii.
Bing is now my primary search engine since it’s integration with gpt4. For me it has less sponsored links and results that are more useful although there are times I use google if I’m not satisfied with the results.
When Bing first came out, every time I tried Bing - It would take over my browser and make me use it. Always seemed like a hassle to switch it back. Avoided Bing after that. Google always played nice with my browser choices. I do use Chrome. My current favorite browser.
I like Bing actually the latest browsers have been really user friendly my main gripe are the search results...I think if I live in the US it would be perfect but for elsewhere in the world Google still has it
I think you missed something very important. In the late 90s loads of people had slow internet, dial up and DSL were popular. Ask Jeeves, Yahoo and the rest were like actual websites with graphics and ads and news stories and pop-up ads. The pages themselves loaded very slowly because of this. Google's simple design meant it loaded fast, very fast; especially compared to those other sites. And since all you want to do is search and get off that page, this mattered a lot. If you went to Yahoo and had dialup you might wait 30 seconds or longer just to have the page load. Google loaded nearly instantly. People learned this. Whatever the accuracy of the results were mattered little. And by the time internet connection speeds became irrelevant, Google had solidified its position as the de facto search engine.
I feel like Google searches have gotten worse and worse over the years. I switched over to Bing five or six years ago after I had a really good experience finding a website which sold an obscure old video game peripheral which didn't show up in the Google search I had done first. Was able to purchase some productive software using the Microsoft Rewards I got from using Bing, too. Now I avoid using both Google and Bing if I can and instead use Ecosia, Presearch, and Yandex.
I like using Ecosia it’s a German based search engine that uses bing and also has a few of its own algorithms it puts on top. What’s cool about it is they use their ad revenue to plant trees and fund other green projects. At first I didn’t believe it but they show where they plant their trees and even have a RUclips channel.
I switched to Bing ever since Bing Chat came out, and haven't regretted it. Microsoft easily has Google beat at AI bots. And the search results are just as good I find.
Lol since launching their AI tool Microsoft has LOST more market share. Meanwhile google has gained more and their sge will 100% catch on bc they have the users and it’s a good tool. Bard is also free and comparable to chatgpt 3.5, give a few more months it’ll be good as 4 and free with all the users and the eco system. But sure Microsoft beat google lmaooo also fyi Microsoft had to buy their way into this tech, i wouldn’t bet agains the company who invented their own shit and their competitors shit.
The problem with the big tech companies (Apple, Google & Microsoft) is that they dominate the market with their products making it difficult for other smaller companies to compete since everyone will use the big tech companies products and ignore the others
I actually prefer Bing because it does give better and more cohesive search results especially with the image searches. Also one other thing that Microsoft absolutely knocks Google out of the park with is the translator.
I started using Bing as a preteen when I wanted to be edgy and nonconforming to the “norm” but I found I actually liked it better and felt it more accurately gave me results of what I searched for.
I've been skeptical of Google for a long time, and even more so in recent years due to their manipulative "fairness" algorithms, artificial boosting of "authoritative sources", and creepily overt user data harvesting. I started using Bing while working at Microsoft and once I adjusted to its particular flavor, I actually really do enjoy what it has to offer. The image search is way better on Bing. And it has lots of very useful contextual add-ons which outperform the similar offerings on Google.
So glad you did this! I once had a job where the girl training me got mad that I wanted to use Google instead of Bing, she not only started an argument insisting that Bing is better. She even tried to get me FIRED for not listening to her. Now I work for myself as a blogger/Content Creator, with no boss, and only use Google.🤣
I made the switch to Bing last year. Honestly I completely stopped using Chrome altogether. I know Edge is Chromium based but for some reason it does run better, in my opinion. I do really like that Bing AI thing too.
The biggest claim that Bing made in the early days was that they offered live sports scores. At the time, Google didn't offer that feature. I am a huge football fan and was excited to keep up with the scores throughout the day at my own convenience.The first time I tried to find the live scores on Bing, I was directed to the previous year's score. Shortly after that Google's live score feature was launched and actually worked. I have never gone back to Bing because I feel like it isn't worth my time.
I remember using Excite's free internet in the early days of dial-up. It had a window that had to stay open that served ads and used most of your free bandwidth.
Ever since Microsoft introduced bing chat, I decided to switch over to the Microsoft ecosystem and started using OneDrive, Edge, bing, etc. I can now say with confidence that it was a good decision. The features that Microsoft offers and the ease of integration with windows is what did it for me.
I still love Bing ever since they first launched. I use many smaller search engines now that are backed by Bing searches. their Photos and videos section and news sections are excellent and keeps Google working hard to compete. even if you only use Google, you have to thank the Microsoft Internet Gods for keeping it great!
Bing has an advantage with generative AI integration, however it is currently restricting it with 20 responses per session. Also the bing app on my anrdoid is needlessly bloated with ancillary stuff . However the bing AI chat is much better on edge browser. Bing is a step ahead right now but google shouldnt find it too hard to catch up with them
20 is so much lol that’s like a whole role play. Not like it can do that tho. It’s just searching through its own search engine and regurgitating it on the ai bing chat.
The problem with Bing now is that because so many people use Google, it makes Bings results less relevant and useful. For example if I’m searching for a restaurant nearby I know Google is going to give me the best result as far as reviews go because so many people use Google to leave reviews. I know that the prospective busy times, business hours, and phone number will be most accurate on Google because it has the largest amount of crowdsourced data. Essentially in my mind, it’s the best because it’s the biggest.
Surprised you didn’t mention that Bing in the beginning was literally running google and checking to see what those search results were and reposting them. Google caught them by putting in fake search results and Bing would show them as well.
I've been using Chrome and Google for years. Recently I bought a new Windows laptop. Edge was the default browser and Bing the default search engine. I used them for two weeks just to see what they were like. I've gone back to Chrome and Google.
In my computer I mostly use Ecosia, which uses Bing, so I do use Bing most of the time. In many aspects Bing is really good, I usually like the images results more in Bing, it allows me to check maps in both Microsoft Maps and Google Maps, vanilla Bing even has some really cool stuff like the Wikipedia Card that shows on it's side looks way better on Bing, it also adds fun facts, tips, and a bunch of cool stuff. However, even then I still use Google every day too, because for some reason Ecosia/Bing results are not always what I want, it's not always, but it happens. I will usually search in Bing first, if the results are not what I want, then I switch to google which very rarely won't have what I need. So I guess the algorithm for google search is just a little bit more polished than Bing's. I still think some people should give Bing a chance, it's still a very good search engine and deserves more attention in my opinion. Another thing, consider using Ecosia to plant trees! Ok bye.

I think it has something to do with how he talks. There's nothing pretentious about it, he doesn't pretend to have all the answers, he's just some dude who researched some stuff and shows it to us.
I loved having multiple search engines to choose from back in the day. It was cool seeing all the different ones mentioned, and I know that I used every single one of them at one time or another, especially, Altavista, Excite, and AskJeeves. Their different approaches to searching gave different result sets that actually made it easier to find information, at least from my experience.
Let us not forget Metacrawler and Dogpile!
I miss Jeeves 😢
And Hotbot!
Actually, I wouldn't write off "Bing with AI" all too fast. They do have a qualitative advantage, that may change the game over the next few months. Also, I noticed people have started to talk more negatively about the quality of Google's search results recently. They seem to focus more on making their search product better for the advertisers, but less so for the consumers, and in combination with Microsoft's AI advantage, that may yet prove to be a costly mistake.
As someone who works in marketing and a lot of that through paid search, it isn't improving things for advertisers unless you have deep deep pockets.
It is making it better for Google to take money from businesses though
Lol you haven’t tried google sge, google has never been more convenient to use. I’m willing to bet the one with the market share will keep the lead.
@@mattyt1961 Well that figures. Google looks out for itself; platforms (see: Amazon) rip off both customers and sellers.
I agree. I personally like both the key point I love about Bing with AI a search engine that can also become a browser for just light browsing and downloading stuff as well. Has one of the best layouts as well. Google as someone said is usually the default on most phones but the key is also a perfect blend of both
10 months later, nothing has changed, google search still growing userbase and bing still sucks
Personally i like using bing just to get microsoft rewards
Same here

Bing used to be my primary search engine because they give gift cards if you do enough searches but then I became old enough to get a job
In the late 90s, Yahoo was my go-to search engine, but after Google launched, I migrated to them and have not thought much about the others since.
Tis worth considering others, particularly DuckDuckGo.

12:35 I was one of the people who switched from google to bing (and even chrome to edge) and I've actually liked it so far - Bing search (and bing image creator) are super cool and useful for me, although I'm not sure if it's quite enough to pull a large portion of people over.
edge is way superior to chrome imho, firefox is pretty good too.
bing constantly enables itself as my search engine and i hate it, acts like a virus.
Bing is better for searching for porn.
@@blingbling574 - exactly! I can always tell when I've stumbled on Bing by mistake because all my search queries turn out to be for porn....
"The Number One Search Engine For Porn" is Bullyboi Ballmer legacy. 🤣🤣🤣
Me too. I bought a new computer not long ago, and I noticed that Chrome was running slower and slower. So I some what reluctantly tried Edge and was surprised how fast it was. Bing followed. I use Firefox as a backup. I don't know if slow Chrome is a fluke, but something is definitely wrong in Mountainview.
Recently I like using Bing, especially Bing Chat. Google search result sometimes doesnt really answer my search, because the top result is just good at seo and then full of unimportant stuff. Say, you want to search for a recipe. With Bing Chat it will give you the recipe, but Google top result will have full page of some random story (and ads) and then at the bottom you will find the recipes
Even though I prefer Google for most searches, I like Bing as an alternative search engine and I find more useful information that Google doesn’t have! I’m glad that Bing and Yahoo exists as rivals to Google, because I can’t stand monopolies in web search engines! Competition helps innovation online!
Does Yahoo search still exist?? I thought the only thing Yahoo still did was news reporting.
My thoughts exactly. The mere existence of Bing and Yahoo is necessary in my opinion. If they didn't exist, it's possible Google may have made changes to their search engine that end up being anti-consumer, intentional or otherwise.
The possibility of Bing and the others getting market share and users from any potential bad decisions on the part of Google helps keep Google honest and at its best
@@ReddoFreddo they still exist, they’re just not the same company anymore, they’ve been sold off years ago!
@@redwarrior4226 especially when Google has made bad decisions in recent years with their censorship policies, I’ve used Bing and yahoo for months to search uncensored articles, this is why competition helps creative freedom!
@@ReddoFreddo Yahoo is actually still very big in Japan and a few other countries. However, their search engine ceased being independent a long time ago, now they mostly use a combination of Bing and Google to provide results.
I’ve used bing a couple of times and I don’t know if I noticed a significant difference from Google. I think the problem is that Google is the default on my safari browsers (like if I type in the address bar it uses google) and I’ve always been too lazy to switch things lol
It really depends on what you're looking for. I know for programming questions, Google does better.
I would presume similar for other niche topics. I do know a lot of people have tried Bing. Especially for rewards and product searches. The Google results for product searches is often just bad. Not to mention way too many paid results in the mix. When it was two or so and especially when they were in the side I didn't mind so much.
yea me too..i just reset my laptop and my default search engine is bing now...but not gonna lie bing is actually fun...i can customize almost everything since it has too many icons and i hate those icons idk why
People ignore Bing but if you haven't tried it's image search, Ai or rewards, you're missing out.
Tried all 3. Yes they are amazing. But no need it. Bard and ChatGPT are available. Image search is just good with UI. I don't need rewards.
Yandex or SauceNAO reverse image search is far superior than the one of Google or Bing.
Yandex search is terrifying and should not be as good as it is.
@@Jose04537 But Google and Bing intentionally avoided such functionality. That's a very bad tech to be out there just like that.
@@ravitejaknts It actually helps you to detect doctored or stolen photos by scammers or identity thieves.
As a former Bing user due to Bing Rewards (and Google user before that), I actually use Presearch nowadays because it's modular - letting me search individual sites or engines - Google and Bing included, with a single click and more accurately than Google's advanced search - it's also really simple to pick which site searches I want on the list. But the Presearch results themselves are usually best for me. I personally thing the accuracy of Google results has gone down in recent years in various places - but their image search is still the best one to me. Reverse image search is *especially* convenient.
TinEye has always been my favorite reverse image search. As far as I know they were the first to the party, launching their site about fifteen years ago. Their algorithm is by far the best. Their only downside is they don't have the sheer brute force resources that Google has for crawling the web, so their results often contain dead links in addition to current results.
Yandex comes in second. Though I've noticed their reverse image search seems to lean heavily into facial recognition. If there's a person in the photo you're searching, Yandex will try its hardest to find other photos with that person in it. Fairly neat...if not a bit unsettling. They're a Russian company, which may or may not bother some people.
Google's reverse image search has always seemed half-baked to me (especially after the latest update to it that tries to identify products in the photos to direct you to online stores, which seems to have crippled it more than anything). It doesn't do a good job of finding other variations/aspect ratios of the same image, and seems to _force_ a keyword search into the results, which skews what is shown. Still a useful tool, but not nearly as good as some of the competition.
@@NoName-ik2du Yeah, Google Reverse Image Search seems to be for finding the name of what you're looking for. TinEye is still better at finding where the image itself can be found online, which is usually what I want.
interesting
I've been using Google for much longer than Bing so it is what I keep using. I also have my Google accounts all set up the way I want them and use many other Google products. I also have an Android phone and my search history is synchronized across my devices which can be helpful. The only thing I ever use Bing for is reverse image searches as an additional check with doing it using Google or Tineye and I also use Bing for, well, um, adult stuff. They seem to hide less of what I'm looking for when doing those searches.
Nice to see that u use Bing for adult stuff like banking online. Maybe that’s where Microsoft can finds its niche😂😂
Huh, gonna have to try bing next time I'm looking for adult stuff 🤔 thank you for the tip, fellow internet stranger!
@@YourChannel-r4v looking for the opposite of milf pics myself, but can report that Bing finds shit that Google doesn't 😂 pretty eye-opening! Fresh adult content is always nice!

The new Bing Chat feature is fantastic. It doesn't replace Google, but it does things that Google cannot.
For me it has replaced google in many ways. I find myself opening google to search for something just because I'm used to for so many years and after 2 or 3 pages that I open I still can't find what I'm looking for, then I remember that I have Bing Ai and in one question I get the info I wanted.
Bing literally pays you in gift cards to use it.
It's certainly worse than Google, but in terms of overall value I prefer it.
Same here. I've got like 400$ in amazon gift cards off them
I find it to be better than Google so win-win
You just made me feel old . I remember using askJeeves during school. We didn't ever use Google probably until middle school.
I've noticed that duck duck go has better results than bing and pretty similar ones to google which is a great alternative since google has too many ads where I have to scroll to get to the first actual result. If I have something specific, bing chat with gpt4 is great because it keeps context so its much easier to specify what you want
DDG is just a shell search-engine.
DDG has better results but they admitted that they store and sell user data, which defeats the sole purpose they were founded on and lost them a lot of support
This is hilarious. A co-worker of mine was trying to use Bing to search for something while at work, but got frustrated because of some glitch that happened while he was making the search. This was like 20 minutes before I knew this video was uploaded 😂
This is funny.
For what it is, I've never had a problem with Bing, but at some point in the past day or two, Bing just stopped working for me.
An interesting shared experience XD
Must have been a gremlin
I started using Duck Duck Go for privacy reasons. As a search engine I find it works pretty well but I still find myself using google when looking up business addresses and phone numbers as the results are easier to see and intuitive to automatically dial on a smart phone. Otherwise I’m kinda tired of being tracked everywhere on the internet. Whether Duck Duck Go stays the leader in that market I think more people are becoming more mindful of online privacy and Google and Microsoft are some of the worse in the industry when it comes to sharing and collecting data on its user base.
More the reason of using DDG, Just like BING, A great alternative to google!!!
Do not like google search? Start with studying, and looking into a Alternative Search engine that suits you, Choose wisely!!!
a grand PSA, By Hamtaro126!!!
That's how the internet is build. What do we even lose on this 'being tracked'? All we get is relevant ads... and in return we get amazing products for free. I just don't understand why people bother with this.
@@maxjames00077 A) Because I don't even want ads, even for things I care about, and B) Privacy. I don't want my search history stored because it is nobodies business. Nobody should have to justify as to why their search history should remain private.

@@WillSmith-wg4hs its not about whether you have to justify it or not. No one is obligated to use the products of Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft etc etc. I just don't understand why you care. Privacy, I got that from your first comment too. But why? What do you lose? Is there some specific? Or just don't like the feeling of a company having a record of you when you searched for the last recipe for a dinner? I'm genuinely interested in what this is. Google being a million times better than duck duck, why would one not use a search engine or products that make your life easier. I assume you have close to no apps on your phone and definitely not an android phone?
In the TV show "Hawaii Five-0", I just remember how off the character named Chin Ho Kelly sounded when he said "Bing it" when his cousin asked about an art piece.
That show had a lot of Microsoft product placements.
I tried to use Bing because sometimes Google didn't find what I was looking for (and I ended up finding it on Bing), but I ended up going back to Google because, while on Google I just needed to use Bing once in a while to find something, on Bing I had to Google something all the time, and I ended up going back. Today I only use Bing if I can't find something on Google, and occasionally for adult content and reverse image. I also think the ChatGpt + Google combination is much better than BingGPT
Request for a video: Voodoo Doughnuts.

I lived in mainland China for a couple of years, and would use Bing a lot (it wasn't blocked, unlike Google). Also, I found it a bit strange you didn't mention Baidu, which is by far the most popular search engine in China.
I like the old Bing memes how Bing search results were literal and kinda dark and humorous. I also like modern Bing AI integration it personally drew me away from Google. Microsoft seems to innovate more than Google. Bing is slower though compared to Google especially on slow wifi or sketchy mobile data regions. I don't like how crowded Bing is with news and bloat pop ups but I can customize it to make it more minimalist. I like the Bing rewards. The switch to Bing has been nice and smooth especially since they are both chromium based. Google is more refined but I feel Bing is more innovative. I recommend you give it a try
Google has essentially become a monopoly and their search engine suffers for it. The amount of ads or "sponsored" results is just getting ridiculous and extremely intrusive.
They went from wanting to redirect people to the most appropriate website to attempting to keep people on google as much as possible through all their in page widgets/tools. In a lot of instance, you get the information from X website but since you didn't click on the actual link they get none of the traffic as you only ever interacted with google. Those websites are doing all the legwork but google gets all the benefits
I still remember the AltaVista commercials that typed in full question sentences as search queries, lol.
But yeah, "google" is a verb; no one says "I'll bing it". 😉
Exactly! No one says that. The name Bing sounds stupid even just on it's own, even worse as a verb. Its as if a little child made it up.
Bing was the default search engines for all military formatted computers. That’s probably the main reason it has stayed alive.
I use Bing just for the Microsoft Rewards points which basically pays for half of my Gamepass cost. I don't find the results to be any worse than Google. Hell, there used to be times I searched on Google and would have to switch to Bing to find better results.

I was a die-hard Yahoo user for years. Around 2010 or so, I found that Yahoo seemed to be deteriorating, so I tried Google. I now use Google quite a bit, haven't been to Yahoo in years, and I often use Google to google Bing. I hope that made sense.
I have not used google in years. Mostly because of personal issues with the company. Bing works fine for me and the AI is pretty cool.
I remember when MSN search became Bing, Microsoft did a Bing vs Google ad campaign website where you do 5 web searches with 2 different results from both search engines and you have to choose which results you liked better. I decided to try it with some more obscure anime stuff and the results were Google giving better results 3 out of 5 times.
This is literally in the video
Yahoo has always been better than google trying to find more specific information.
Duckduckgo for the win !
This video comes in at the perfect as I've switched over to using Bing and Edge as my main browser and search bar.

Crazy to think it’s been like a decade since I’ve even used bing legitimately.
I am watching this on a laptop running Ubuntu and I use Firefox as a browser. For business searches I use Google. For personal stuff I use Duck Duck Go. My first computer didn't have a mouse or a GUI. It didn't even have a hard drive, everything ran on 5.25" floppy disks. How far we have come in 35 years. Now you can carry a computer in your pocket and everyone has a camera on them at all times.
Fun to listen to, as a description rather than an explanation. A beautiful voice and enunciation!
The only time I use a search engine that isn't google is for reverse image search (yandex or bing) or if I suspect google's results are censored or manipulated which they usually are.
Google has become what my expectations are for online searching. Anything that differs from that is inheritly suboptimal, fair or not
Personally, the reason I don't use Bing, is just because I've always used Google, and don't really see a reason to change.They both seem to do the same stuff, and I already use one of them, so why change.
BRO I used to watch your channel all the time in 2021
Ima binge all your videos now
The tide is starting to turn for Google though. After years of using google search exclusively, I switched to bing for work a few months ago. Google search result quality has steadily declined while Bing has improved. The addition of AI integration tipped the scale both for me an a lot of people I know. Even for non-work personal use I've been using Bing more and more, something that would have been unthinkable a year ago.
Fun Fact: my brother in law worked for Microsoft in the bing content department (basically checking to see that no uncensored NSFW pics/terms came up in general search). he uses google
We should all band together to make Bing the most searched word on Google
I've done my part and googled it once, cap'n! 🫡
I don’t like that ads get prioritized at the top of Google search results and haven’t used it in years. Bing it, baby!
I've been I've been using Google far longer than Bing every now and again I tried Bing for a short period of time before falling back into the habit of just googling it. It's just a hard habit to break not using Google

The competition gets healthier between Google and Microsoft. Google soars high but I love the evolution of Microsoft, specifically their internet services. I love their growth from Internet Explorer to Edge as browsers and from MSN Search to bing as search engines. The inclusion of Bing Chat in Edge is a brilliant idea!
When google vs bing was out, I just put "hi" for both, Google showed that it was a greeting and the synonyms, Hello, Howdy etc. etc. Bing tried to correct it to Hawaii.
Bing is now my primary search engine since it’s integration with gpt4. For me it has less sponsored links and results that are more useful although there are times I use google if I’m not satisfied with the results.
This is wild! I was just thinking about those old bing commercials from when they first launched.
The chatGPT AI thing totally got me to switch to bing
What an awesome feature when Google bard isn’t as mature and restricted to beta access
Google sage made google the superior search engine imo, so far using it i never had to click on any links it usually got the info i needed.
I can't hear "Bing" without thinking of Chandler Bing from the TV show Friends. 😂
When Bing first came out, every time I tried Bing - It would take over my browser and make me use it. Always seemed like a hassle to switch it back. Avoided Bing after that. Google always played nice with my browser choices. I do use Chrome. My current favorite browser.
Yahoo recently hijacked my chrome and hasn't given it back. I went to brave browser so I can chose the search engine easier.
If u like chrome , you will love brave browser . Ad block , higher privacy and anonymity . Uses lesser Ram and is faster than chrome .
@@felciajacintha6613 switched from chrome to brave in 2020, never looked back. Chrome isn't even installed on any of my PCs.
I like Bing actually the latest browsers have been really user friendly my main gripe are the search results...I think if I live in the US it would be perfect but for elsewhere in the world Google still has it
I think you missed something very important. In the late 90s loads of people had slow internet, dial up and DSL were popular. Ask Jeeves, Yahoo and the rest were like actual websites with graphics and ads and news stories and pop-up ads. The pages themselves loaded very slowly because of this.
Google's simple design meant it loaded fast, very fast; especially compared to those other sites.
And since all you want to do is search and get off that page, this mattered a lot.
If you went to Yahoo and had dialup you might wait 30 seconds or longer just to have the page load. Google loaded nearly instantly.
People learned this. Whatever the accuracy of the results were mattered little. And by the time internet connection speeds became irrelevant, Google had solidified its position as the de facto search engine.
I feel like Google searches have gotten worse and worse over the years. I switched over to Bing five or six years ago after I had a really good experience finding a website which sold an obscure old video game peripheral which didn't show up in the Google search I had done first. Was able to purchase some productive software using the Microsoft Rewards I got from using Bing, too. Now I avoid using both Google and Bing if I can and instead use Ecosia, Presearch, and Yandex.
Yandex is not that much better than Google and Bing
@@grooty709 It is for reverse image search. That's pretty much the only thing I use it for. I certainly don't trust it for my regular search engine.
Duckduckgo is much better.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld DDG seems to mostly be using Bing results. Compare & see.
I switched over to Brave search a little while back. For the most part it returns good results.
Bing was the Apple Maps of search engines.
I like your tech videos. Why not do one on Netscape?
I like using Ecosia it’s a German based search engine that uses bing and also has a few of its own algorithms it puts on top. What’s cool about it is they use their ad revenue to plant trees and fund other green projects. At first I didn’t believe it but they show where they plant their trees and even have a RUclips channel.
I switched to Bing ever since Bing Chat came out, and haven't regretted it. Microsoft easily has Google beat at AI bots. And the search results are just as good I find.
Lol since launching their AI tool Microsoft has LOST more market share. Meanwhile google has gained more and their sge will 100% catch on bc they have the users and it’s a good tool. Bard is also free and comparable to chatgpt 3.5, give a few more months it’ll be good as 4 and free with all the users and the eco system. But sure Microsoft beat google lmaooo also fyi Microsoft had to buy their way into this tech, i wouldn’t bet agains the company who invented their own shit and their competitors shit.
Same here. I can find everything I need faster and more accurately.
I've found myself using Bing more often than Google lately. The AI Chat is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. Incredibly useful.
The problem with the big tech companies (Apple, Google & Microsoft) is that they dominate the market with their products making it difficult for other smaller companies to compete since everyone will use the big tech companies products and ignore the others
That "four years later apple switch to Google" was them saying I'mma buy you out 😂😂😂
I actually prefer Bing because it does give better and more cohesive search results especially with the image searches. Also one other thing that Microsoft absolutely knocks Google out of the park with is the translator.
Was hoping to see more about Yahoo. I only used Yahoo for news/email/search engine for a LONG time.
I started using Bing as a preteen when I wanted to be edgy and nonconforming to the “norm” but I found I actually liked it better and felt it more accurately gave me results of what I searched for.
Same 😂
Red green blue and yellow circle VS. Red green blue and yellow square. The stakes: your entire private and work life
I've been skeptical of Google for a long time, and even more so in recent years due to their manipulative "fairness" algorithms, artificial boosting of "authoritative sources", and creepily overt user data harvesting. I started using Bing while working at Microsoft and once I adjusted to its particular flavor, I actually really do enjoy what it has to offer. The image search is way better on Bing. And it has lots of very useful contextual add-ons which outperform the similar offerings on Google.
The joke in my house when someone is physically searching for an item they have misplaced and can't locate is: "What are you using, bing?" 😂😂😂
So glad you did this! I once had a job where the girl training me got mad that I wanted to use Google instead of Bing, she not only started an argument insisting that Bing is better. She even tried to get me FIRED for not listening to her. Now I work for myself as a blogger/Content Creator, with no boss, and only use Google.🤣
Is this AI generated? This feels totally unreal.
Keep adding great companies. Thanks
I made the switch to Bing last year. Honestly I completely stopped using Chrome altogether. I know Edge is Chromium based but for some reason it does run better, in my opinion. I do really like that Bing AI thing too.
Honestly if Microsoft bough RUclips instead of google, I think Google wouldn’t be as relevant as it is today..
Don't knock Bing until you've used it to search for porn.
The biggest claim that Bing made in the early days was that they offered live sports scores. At the time, Google didn't offer that feature. I am a huge football fan and was excited to keep up with the scores throughout the day at my own convenience.The first time I tried to find the live scores on Bing, I was directed to the previous year's score. Shortly after that Google's live score feature was launched and actually worked. I have never gone back to Bing because I feel like it isn't worth my time.
Google answers: chaotic good
Bing answers: chaotic evil
You really ARE everywhere...
I remember using Excite's free internet in the early days of dial-up. It had a window that had to stay open that served ads and used most of your free bandwidth.
Ever since Microsoft introduced bing chat, I decided to switch over to the Microsoft ecosystem and started using OneDrive, Edge, bing, etc. I can now say with confidence that it was a good decision. The features that Microsoft offers and the ease of integration with windows is what did it for me.
I still love Bing ever since they first launched. I use many smaller search engines now that are backed by Bing searches. their Photos and videos section and news sections are excellent and keeps Google working hard to compete. even if you only use Google, you have to thank the Microsoft Internet Gods for keeping it great!
Bing has an advantage with generative AI integration, however it is currently restricting it with 20 responses per session. Also the bing app on my anrdoid is needlessly bloated with ancillary stuff . However the bing AI chat is much better on edge browser. Bing is a step ahead right now but google shouldnt find it too hard to catch up with them
20 is so much lol that’s like a whole role play. Not like it can do that tho. It’s just searching through its own search engine and regurgitating it on the ai bing chat.
The problem with Bing now is that because so many people use Google, it makes Bings results less relevant and useful. For example if I’m searching for a restaurant nearby I know Google is going to give me the best result as far as reviews go because so many people use Google to leave reviews. I know that the prospective busy times, business hours, and phone number will be most accurate on Google because it has the largest amount of crowdsourced data. Essentially in my mind, it’s the best because it’s the biggest.
Bing is the best for porn
Google is the best for everything else.
Facts
Google is so much more than the search now. Being completely integrated into my phone makes it hard to justify using anything else
Surprised you didn’t mention that Bing in the beginning was literally running google and checking to see what those search results were and reposting them. Google caught them by putting in fake search results and Bing would show them as well.
switched to bing since 4 months now. never gone back. Microsoft as a company and bing as search is amazing.
I've been using Chrome and Google for years. Recently I bought a new Windows laptop. Edge was the default browser and Bing the default search engine. I used them for two weeks just to see what they were like. I've gone back to Chrome and Google.
Edge and Chrome are the same. Bing is MUCH better than Google.
Netscape Navigator is quickly moving up the ranks though -- watch out!
In my computer I mostly use Ecosia, which uses Bing, so I do use Bing most of the time. In many aspects Bing is really good, I usually like the images results more in Bing, it allows me to check maps in both Microsoft Maps and Google Maps, vanilla Bing even has some really cool stuff like the Wikipedia Card that shows on it's side looks way better on Bing, it also adds fun facts, tips, and a bunch of cool stuff.
However, even then I still use Google every day too, because for some reason Ecosia/Bing results are not always what I want, it's not always, but it happens. I will usually search in Bing first, if the results are not what I want, then I switch to google which very rarely won't have what I need. So I guess the algorithm for google search is just a little bit more polished than Bing's. I still think some people should give Bing a chance, it's still a very good search engine and deserves more attention in my opinion.
Another thing, consider using Ecosia to plant trees! Ok bye.
