Any one remember BING?

Google was starting to piss me off for stuff I'd ask to search......I'd try BING and my search was great....fast exactly what I wanted, to the point, and exactly what I requested, not like Google.... That lists a shit load of stuff and really, took for EVER to skim through and eventually locate. Ugh..... Good old BING. NOT, now it's writing what it thinks I was asking for....and won' t move beyond my first letter of my first word. I need something so much better then either BING or Goggle. Anyone with me???

My history and cookies are deleted when I close the browser window and Ghostery takes care of the rest.

I was really unimpressed with Bing, especially once it rode in on some unrelated software and tried to kick Google out of the way. Fortunately, it was fairly easy to get rid of. It seems to be set up for pop culture fans rather than hard core geeks and nerds.

Yeah, I seem to be, too.

I don't worry about tracking, as I can resist advertising. Most thinking people can.
