Yeah Bing really isn't bad. And LLMs are basically search engines for most use cases.

I think Mozilla should just run an ad auction to choose the search engine. Bing/MS would pay to capture market share, and Google would pay to prevent Bing from gaining ground.

So let them fight it out.

This is not exactly what’s happening? Google is just willing to pay more.

An exclusive deal is different from an auction.
