The pandemic had cut him off from his many friends and boisterous social life. Within his inner circle, he’d revealed that he had bipolar disorder he’d talked about suicide in the past. Long estranged from his family, he battled depression and drugs, his friends said. While left stunned and devastated by Bing’s death, some said they were not surprised. Intensely private, he died in a shockingly public manner. He took care of everyone around him and rarely asked anyone for help but wasn’t involved in his own children’s lives. He donated millions to Democrats and a slew of progressive causes yet did not seek recognition. Bing shunned fame yet was surrounded by celebrities and power brokers.
#BING LIFE IS FEUDAL WIKI FULL#
He was brilliant and full of optimism, they say, but he was also enigmatic and a knot of contradictions. Yet, while the multimillionaire Bing lived a life of glamour and privilege, those who knew him say he was deeper and an eminently more complicated figure than his portrayal in sensational headlines. However, most operators common with Google are usable in Bing as well.“He looked at me and said, ‘I don’t know what I’ll do in this world without my son.’”īing’s death shook the expansive and interconnected worlds of entertainment, Democratic politics and social activism in which he loomed large. Other reasons Google will continue to dominate for now include Bing Maps not being as user friendly as Google Maps. However, when it comes to regular search queries, most people prefer the Google search engine over Bing. Whenever I have to find an image or video, I find Bing more useful than Google. Personally, I am using Bing much more these days, as I don’t want to deal with captchas. If we add Yahoo to the tally (as it is powered by Bing), that would mean a respectable 16 to 17 percent market share.Įven though all this is way behind Google’s pole position at above 80 percent, there are many advantages of searching with Bing. While most people prefer to use Google, the Microsoft search engine is actually a favored Google search alternative in many countries.įor example, in the United States, as of July 2021, Bing commanded a healthy 11.81 percent market share of desktop search engines and 16.29 percent for tablet users. This makes Bing slightly more privacy-friendly. That said, Bing allows you to wipe your search history without signing in to Microsoft, and Google doesn’t have anything similar. However, visiting a non-encrypted website from a search engine may cause many problems. Is Bing Safer than Google?īoth Google and Bing are equally safe to use, as a search engine does not serve malware nor carry any notable security risks. However, with its new whole-page algorithm, it seems Bing is definitely trying to definte itself as a serious player in the search engine business. This means Google still does much better in terms of more search results, more relevant search results, and a better understanding of user intent. In terms of conventional search engine results and accuracy, Bing and other search engines have a long way to go before they can deliver Google-level performance. You can quickly return to thumbnail view by clicking the close button on top. The horizontal scrolling panel occupies the entire screen: it feels like a slideshow. With Bing, searching for good images takes considerably less effort. This defeats the whole purpose of image previews. The worst part is that when you click on an image – it first directs you to the host website where you have to scroll down once again to trace where the image is.
Google’s horizontal images open in a side panel which occupies nearly half the screen on your device, allowing you to preview five or six of these images without having to scroll down further. Less Effort in Image Scrollingīing was the first to introduce horizontal image scrolling, which has now been replicated by Google. Bing does not flag your search from a VPN/Tor source as suspicious activity, as it has its own built-in settings to change your country and location of search. If you’re tired of proving to Google you’re not a bot, Bing will welcome your excessive searches with open arms.
