So, you're saying Bing got better.
I don’t know the full story about how Microsoft is developing Bing, but I do know that Google made a conscious decision to make their search results worse, simply so that you’d search more times, which for them translates to additional ad revenue. But, my sense is Bing hasn’t gone this far yet.
DDG does add their own spice on to – or so they claim, and Bing doesn't have bangs so I'd never want to use it.
Personally I just use the better in-browser feature instead of bangs
Fair. I could with Firefox, but I'm too lazy to configure all of that for myself.
Fortunately it takes like 2 minutes.
But doesn't work on mobile
