Most of the time, when I want a quick answer to my question, Google does it better.

instead of going to a website to find my answer, simply by typing my question, Google shows the answer at top.

Bing does this too of course but a lot less often.

 

Bing has lots of ads, usually the first 4-5 results of my searches are ads that are unrelated.

 

I even had an experience when I searched to download Microsoft Edge insider and I got an add at the very top of the page saying download Google chrome. lol

 

Bing also is annoying with their safe searches. they categorize some ridiculous words and phrases as unsafe.

        Bing shows more ads than Google, right from the start, it's a little bother looking for something and the main results is someone trying to sell you something

      Yeah, I expected that more from Google than Microsoft but it's actually the other way around..

      I can't sign in on either of my computers with this latest update.  The account I am using to sign in is an Office 365/Azure AD Account that is workplace joined.  When I click the Sign in button, absolutely nothing happens.

        so after installing this latest Dev update, you were signed out and now the sign in doesn't work anymore?

        or is it the first time you're trying to sing in and it's failing?
