Microsoft Urging Safari Users To Use Bing
New submitter SquarePixel writes "Microsoft is urging Safari users to switch to Bing after Google was fined $22.5 million for violating Safari privacy settings. 'Microsoft is keen to make sure that no-one forgets this, let alone Safari users, and the page summarizes the events that took place.' It tells users how Google promised not to track Safari users, but tracked them without their permission and used this data to serve them advertisement. Lastly, it tells how Google was fined $22.5 million for this and suggests users to try the more privacy oriented Bing search engine."
DuckDuckGo's entire advertising strategy is based off of privacy.
Isn't this like Ford telling Toyota owners to buy a new Ford because a Chevron tanker ran aground?

Profit? Bing doesn't know what profit is. They're like $16B in the red and have never ever seen what black ink looks like. You would have to explain black ink to them as if they were blind from birth.
Help stamp out iliturcy.
For this reason I avoid Bing like the plague and use IE for what it was meant for: a download tool for a real browser.
There are not enough people using bing to raise alarm bells. M$ is hopping that safari users will move accross so they can start.
startpage is way better for privacy and much better results since it uses google. why the hell do people keep using DuckDuckGo?
Microsoft sells Software, Google sells You.
