Why does Google search redirect to Bing?
If Google is your default search engine, but every search query you type on it is redirected to Bing, then definitely a browser hijacker has compromised your system.
Browser hijackers are a constant threat to millions of users around the world. Some even find a way to get into your browser via outdated extensions. In some cases, any malicious extension might be preferring the Bing search engine instead of Google.
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.
