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
If you're using Bing anyways, consider switching to Ecosia, it's a non-profit search engine, they pull their search results from Bing and plant trees across the globe with their profits.
It might not be for extremely privacy conscious people because they do send some of your data (obfuscated IP addresses, user agent string etc.) to Microsoft because they use Bing but it's still orders of magnitude better than using Bing directly.
If you want privacy, I would recommend duckduckgo.
