    Obviously Apples claim is complete bullshit but damn ya gotta feel a little for Microsoft tho, right? Like they’ve been trying to capture the search engine market with Bing for so long and only after being crushed by Google, they’re being accused of succeeding 😂.

      It’s more about bing being built into windows I think… but I suspect they may get away with it just because it has little market share despite being built into windows…

        bing may not be succeeding in the browser or mobile search space, but microsoft is doing everything they can think of (and get away with) to leverage windows’ dominance in the OS space to trick, con or force users into bing searches directly from the OS (that display in the OS or forced into edge), as well as shoving bing-delivered, ad-infested clickbait content in front of users eyeballs whether they want it or not.
