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

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

If you know you want Logitech software, why not go directly to the Logitech site and search there?

WinGet is slowly replacing Chocolatey :)

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?!‽

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.

Borderline?

There's still DuckDuckGo, or Kagi if you are rich.

Yes, and DDG has really been degrading over the last few months in quality of results imo.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

Is softonic actually malware or an unreliable repository that may contain malware? I’ve never actually clicked in lol

Softonic has to have made a deal with the SEO devil.

Non idea how their disgusting malware is always on top.

And they force windows users to not use chrome

[–] Dsklnsadog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's good only if their choice wasnt even worst

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago

Edge is comparable to chrome

[–] net00@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't say it's borderline unusable tbh...

The first adware result is blocked with any ad blocker, the fact you see it means you might not have your ad blocker on, or disabled in incognito mode.

The second and third copilot bullshit sections can be toggled off from any search result page, on the sidebar settings there's a toggle.

I do appreciate the bing rewards thing, basically every few weeks I get a gift card because you earn points by using bing

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

[–] yrmp@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not as garbage as your critical thinking abilities it would seem.

[–] michaelmrose@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

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.

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.
