Notepad++ drops Bing after “tank man” censorship

The lack of search engine competition - viable alternatives - remains a rather massive problem in tech. Notepad++ doesn't have much in the way of options, unfortunately.

It sure likes to pretend it does. And ask yourself if that isn't worse than doing nothing.

By that logic we should just throw in the towel and use Google/whatever the biggest player is. I refuse to play by those rules, even if my resistance is ultimately futile.

So by that logic you should use Google (wrong, but let's play along). And by Notepad's logic you should use Google (because it's Bing and Google, that's it). Good job?

How is doing nothing better than doing something?
