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.

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.”

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
