It’s impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing

    The screenshot is from Microsoft Edge running in Windows 10 (virtual machine) with no/little browsing history and no account connected. I’m hypothesizing here, but maybe these are the reasons:

    • You don’t see the ??? section because you’re not on Edge. Bing AI only works on edge (it checks your user agent)
    • You don’t see the ad because you have an adblocker

      Just tried it in Edge, with no ad block.

      The first link was what I was searching for. None of that extra stuff showed up. The ad (for something unrelated) was in a column in the right.

      There is no account associated, little browsing history. This machine was completely wiped 2 weeks ago.

      I think the difference is, I am not in the US.
