The only thing that keeps me from switching to Bing as my default and daily search engine is This.
Bing changes my safe search settings every time I connect to my VPN (another Country). Every single time. Google does Not do this. so it happens like this. at first I don't use VPN and I'm connected with my own IP address to the Internet, I do a search in Bing and from the side panel I see safe search is set to restricted, so I go to the settings and turn that thing off. after few minutes I connect my VPN, reopen my browser and do a search in Bing, I see the safe search setting is back to restricted/moderate. again I go to the Bing settings and turn it off. now I turn off my VPN and use my own IP again, reopen my browser, do a search in Bing and there it is. safe search is back to restricted again! this is beyond frustrating, words can't even describe it. I do love Bing and I hate to use Google knowing they are a data mining company. but things like that....LITTLE things like that, prevent me from using Bing. I have this problem with Bing on both mobile and PC. using Microsoft Edge browser. Bing should retain my preferences Either in the form of cookies or in my Account settings. when I explicitly set a specific country in Bing settings and then turn off safe search for it, it shouldn't be changed automatically, no matter what IP I use, because it's still MY Microsoft account, not somebody else's, I don't set the country to "Auto-detect" or anything like that and I don't want safe search preferences to be reset when my country changes/I use VPN. the problem with Bing is that Microsoft tied Safe search preference to country. that's so wrong. they are 2 different things.Make Bing Updates and MSN feed consistent and preferably Merge them
MSN Feed: https://www.msn.com/en-us/feed/ Bing Updates: https://www.bing.com/updates There are more categories in MSN feed than Bing updates, there are also more actions and the post blocks look better. I think these 2 need to merge and be unified, to have the same experience. I personally prefer MSN feed, it looks much better and modern, more options, has reactions etc.Feedback for Bing Updates and My stories
Hi, Bing updates or "my stories" needs to be much smarter. it shouldn't rely on user to select topics in order to show stories and updates, these are often times irrelevant. instead, Bing should use user's search history, video search history, the data it has from used keywords and other sources to generate relevant stories and updates for user to see. for example, instead of me picking Xbox as a story source, Bing should detect that I've been recently searching with "Xbox" keyword and then suggest relevant Xbox articles and updates to me. another example would be that I recently searched for Tesla, Bing updates and stories should show Tesla stocks information to me. if i recently searched for Elon musk, Bing should show me updates and stories about Elon musk and how he is the richest man in the world now. these are very good examples and in fact, Google already does this, to show extremely relevant stories, updates, news articles etc. to me on Google feed in web and Android. now I use Microsoft Launcher so I have no longer access to Google feed on Android, I really expect Bing to do that instead and be much smarter. Bing Updates: https://www.bing.com/updates I've sent this feedback using feedback button on that page too, really hope this gets enough attention.
