minus-squareamio@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up11·10 months agoBing is fucking shitty, to boot. It keeps serving my grandma fucking scam ads, how in the ever-loving motherfuck is that a thing in an official Microsoft browser?
minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoAre you expecting a browser to filter search results for you? The blame should go to the search engine, and you should be using an ad blocker to boot.
minus-squareamio@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-210 months agoNo, not sure how you jumped to that conclusion. It’s the front page you can’t get rid of, of the browser that keeps reenabling itself, so I’ll keep blaming that, thanks.
minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-210 months agoHuh, I’ve never actually used Edge, so I assumed you were talking about Bing search results, since you said Bing served your grandmother ads.
minus-squareamio@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-210 months agoShit, I just noticed, that is what I said. And here I’m being all sassy. My bad - I did mean Edge of course. (Edge really is fucking awful though, so you’re lucky, I guess)
minus-squareHughJanus@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoYou’re conflating search results with ads
minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoGoogle and Bing do as well.
minus-squareHughJanus@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoSure but the person you replied to did not
