It's impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing

This is the first time I've seen Kagi, I'll check them out. I've been pretty happy with SearxNG.

Softonic be like every app you want we have it, even the non exist ones. But once you installed our apps you already have made a pact with the devil

SearXNG is also amazing. The only reason I don't use it more is because it doesn't have an integration into the URL bar in Firefox.
we got woogle which is a frontend for google

And they force windows users to not use chrome
That's good only if their choice wasnt even worst
Edge is comparable to chrome
Borderline?
There's still DuckDuckGo, or Kagi if you are rich.
Doesnt Duck use bing?
Yes, and DDG has really been degrading over the last few months in quality of results imo.
I'll be honest, DDG has never blown me away and I've been using it for roughly 5 years. It's not awful or anything, but maybe once every month or two I need to resort to Google because it can't find something. I'm absolutely willing to sacrifice some quality for privacy in the general case, though.

Softonic has to have made a deal with the SEO devil.
Non idea how their disgusting malware is always on top.

If you know you want Logitech software, why not go directly to the Logitech site and search there?
Because we have been conditioned for 30 years to use a search engine
OR install it via Chocolatey:
WinGet is slowly replacing Chocolatey :)
No it isn't
That's... what they're looking for.
I typed the URL that was literally printed in the packaging of a [new] Logitech mouse, and the page didn't exist! Like, how?!‽
Your search query is garbage incidentally. Unifying is a "feature" not the name of any particular software. You should have searched for the model of your hardware
Not as garbage as your critical thinking abilities it would seem.
note how searching for the words logitech unifying don't go to any current release of any software you would actually want to install whereas searching for "logitech" "name of hardware" actually take you to the current software for your actual hardware? Shocking I know.

is it based on your searches or something? both in the browser with fingerprint protection where it thinks im from Usa and from the one where it detects my correct location the first result is from logi.com. I really hate bing, specially since they started pushing ai, but dunno, doesnt seem like the normal user experience what you are getting.
I mean... you went to Bing to search for a program. That's something that a new or inexperienced user would do, and Bing tried to help. It gave a direct link to the software (a link which I just tested to be working and safe on a virtual machine), it instructed how to do it using the official website, and then as a third option, it gave a link to the website.
I know that a lot of people will automatically assume a site like Softonic is loaded with malware (and I don't have the time to refute all of those claims) but the download they provided of the software was just a mirror of the official download and came with no added malware, spyware, or adware. Use at your own risk, but OP is pretty clearly fearmongering in an attempt to get people to give them internet points.
This is absurd.
Typing "Logitech unifying software download" in the address bar is massively less effort than navigating their shitshow of a site. It's not a sign of inexperience in any way.
Allowing an ad with any third party download is an insane policy, and it is not a legitimate practice at all to use an unreliable third party with a well deserved bad reputation to download software in place of the manufacturer.
