If you 'love ... Bing News and the image of the day' (which both come from Bing and not Google) why don't you give Bing a proper try instead of believing Google is always better?
I have gradually shown most of my clients that they can find everything they want much more easily and quickly with a few clicks and searches on Bing, without having to trawl through all the pinned adverts associated with the same content on Google. Currently the Microsoft Points tally up quite nicely from every Bing Search too!

I'm sure Bing is great, and I may give it a try. However, you can't expect every other lay user to just start using Bing, people like Google and are resistant to change. More people would use edge if they'd just allow us to use our own search engine for the NTP. I know that some people only use DuckDuckGo for privacy reasons, would it be more user-friendly to just add the option?

Google chrome exactly does this. you know what this means? Google, the number 1 search engine in the world, is letting people change the search engine of their Chrome browser to something else, so why Microsoft shouldn't let this happen!

Cheers,
