Between Bing And Google, your heart is swinging? Don’t panic, it is entirely possible to use both search engines simultaneously.
Based on Chromium since 2020, Microsoft’s Edge browser has had the (very) difficult task of succeeding the much-maligned Internet Explorer. Installed by default on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (and available on macOS, Android, iOS, etc.), Microsoft Edge quickly won over users, including those who previously only swore by Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
Bing or Google, why choose?
In the Microsoft Edge browser settings, you can obviously select the search engine used in the address bar. If the American giant strongly (and logically) recommends that Internet users opt for Bing, they are free to prefer Google, Qwant or even Yahoo.
However, for those who wish, it is possible to very simply carry out a search with another search engine, without leaving the page currently being viewed.
To do this, you will have to use the now famous sidebar integrated into the Edge browser a few months ago. Once the sidebar is displayed, simply click on the search icon (symbolized by a magnifying glass) to automatically open a search engine different from that used in the main navigation window. Practical.
How to use two search engines simultaneously on Microsoft Edge
This way, if you use Google as your default search engine, Bing will be displayed in the sidebar. Obviously, the Internet user is free to modify the search engine, opting for example for Yahoo or DuckDuckGo.
By performing a search on the main page, it will automatically be synchronized in the side window, but with another search engine. Practical for comparing results.
While many Internet users generally opt for Google or Bing, this feature makes it very easy to observe the strengths and weaknesses of each search engine for the same query. It was Mikhail Parakhin, in charge of web services at Microsoft, who wanted to (re)highlight this functionality on the X.com platform (formerly Twitter).
The web browser market is increasingly competitive and the numerous innovations that have punctuated the past year have demonstrated that publishers are ready to do anything to stand out. Brave, Edge, Opera have entered the AI race, while Chrome, Firefox and Vivaldi have preferred to rely on the proven recipes that have made them successful. To the point that it seems difficult to decide between them. So how to choose the best browser in January 2024?
