minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoMy work computer is macOS and I’ve never seen a recommendation to use Bing despite using a ton of Microsoft products for work. My personal computers run Linux, and again, no MS spam. So yeah, don’t use Windows and you won’t get MS spam. You should probably also use DuckDuckGo or another privacy-centric search engine.
minus-squarePhoenixz@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoI’ve dropped google search for DDG some 4 years ago, never looked back. If these days I just try google search for laughs it’s just sad, it’s full with bot spam now
