my theory is Bing is better because they are hungrier and anything that takes away market share from Google is good

If you think Microsoft is in the business of innovation and healthy competition, you're wrong.

If that was what you took from my post, give it another read. I'm not pro MS. I'm pro not feeding Google. And Bing is fine.

I'm not pro MS. I'm pro not feeding Google.

I feel like this is similar to arguing that Exxon is bad so it's better to buy gas from BP.

Both are shitty options.

Thankfully there are other options because you just nailed the two places I refuse to ever get gas from when there is any other option. If there was a good third option I'd take it here, but while Google commands so much market share and a new competitor would probably siphon users from Bing (and it's not enough users) I don't think a real alternative will come. I'm intrigued by kagi, though.
