I've never seen this pop-up before. Do I already have Bing as default?

I am the only one that use Linux and bing as a default search? (On firefox) I personally think bing have better results than google right now

I also agree bing is nowadays often superior to Google, they're also better than DDG imo.

While it's a good thing that Google gets serious competition, I don't know if Microsoft is the best company for that role. In both cases the incentives are not necessarily aligned with the customer.

I find it ironical when a huge company diverts efforts into aggressive marketing instead of improving the product itself, it feels like a loss-loss

This headline should be “Microsoft forces people to ditch Edge by using malware-like pop-ups in Windows 11 to get people to ditch Google.”
