The gap has been favouring bing (DuckDuckGo) for a while now in my experience. Every time I use Google or just doesn’t find what I’m looking for. Just a few days ago, when Bing was down and I had to use Google, I tried searching for the new beta nvidia Linux drivers. Google didn’t even include the official nvidia site in the first page of results. When I later searched for the same thing again, using DuckDuckGo, it was the first result… and stuff like that happens every time I need to use Google. The only category Google still seems to have a slight edge in is current (as in happening right now) events.
DDG since 2016 when I had to switch because I was in China. Never went back and with everything I hear about Google, I don’t plan to. Only Google thing I still have and enjoy is Maps.
Why would anyone in 2024 honestly switch to google products.
They are worse than microsoft, and that takes effort.
Well when the alternative is Bing quality search results, Google still has a slight edge.
That gap is closing by the day tho.
That gap has flipped. Bing never told me to put glue on pizza or to jump off a bridge if depressed.
It is telling you to eat that deadly mushroom though.If you are referring to the gemini ai model that identified a deadly mushroom as a button mushroom, then that is also google.
