If you choose to use the Edge browser, remove Bing as your default search provider by following these steps.Īt the very least, please do not use Bing to search for anything. I also highly recommend installing a tracking blocker like DuckDuckGo. Commit those to memory or just open up Edge and browse directly to. If you must use Windows 10, go directly to to download Google's browser, or to for Firefox. The update process is unreliable and cumbersome compared to operating systems like Ubuntu. Microsoft is letting devastating file-deleting bugs through its Windows 10 updates even after being warned by its team of Windows Insider testers. But when looking at Windows 10 as a whole, things look considerably darker. Isolated issues like this - one search term in one browser with one search engine - may not seem significant. How many people have been affected by these short-lived but recurring hijacks that Microsoft is letting through to millions of people? It's inexcusable that these types of ads aren't vetted properly, especially when the majority of browsers automatically know these sites are unsafe.
There's a pattern here, and it's a disturbing one.
If you have to use Windows 10, don't use Bing for search.
