Bing is not Google. 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. This means Google does way better in terms of more search results, more relevant search results, and a better understanding of user intent.
Bing can only track you as a user if you are logged into your Microsoft account. Bing uses cookies, so it can do some tracking even if you are not logged in. However, unless I’m misunderstanding something very fundamental about how browsers work, Bing is unable to track actual clicks in search results at the level that Google does.
Does bing track data?
It’s one of the best private search engines out there that doesn’t track your online data. It doesn’t share any of your personal information with third-parties. Qwant supplements their search results with results from Bing.
How did Bing get its search results?
If Bing served those results, it could only have done so because it got them from Google’s results. Microsoft themselves admitted that the Bing toolbar collects user queries and clicked results. Thus, they effectively (via 3rd party) mined Google’s results.
Should you use Bing or Google search?
Both Google and Bing are equally safe to use, as a search engine does not serve malware nor carry any notable security risks. However, visiting a non-encrypted website from a search engine may cause many problems. That said, Bing allows you to wipe your search history without signing in to Microsoft, and Google doesn’t have anything similar.
What are the pros and cons of Bing vs Google?
Gives more relevant results – Google search engine will organize your search results with precision and clarity. Whereas Bing users aren’t as many as those using Google, different studies have revealed that Bing offers a better click-through-rate than Google.
However, when it comes to regular search queries, most people prefer the Google search engine over Bing. Other reasons Google will continue to dominate for now include Bing Maps not being as user friendly as Google Maps. However, most operators common with Google are usable in Bing as well.
