15.8% boost vs "near 1%" decline.

News title at its finest, the "near 1%" must not make it to the title for maximum effect.

That's cool in the short term, but it will be news when it's sustained. I logged in to Bing for the first time in forever to play with the AI some, but it didn't change my default search behavior of using Google, and now it's been easily two weeks since I went to Bing at all.

It’s fun to use statistics to create your narrative.

I imagine 1% of Google is well more than 15.8% of Bing :)

Yeah, everyone rushed to try these magic search bots. Didn't heard anyone who gave up search for these.

I got access a while back, but haven't tried it yet. I don't have a windows machine to run Edge on.

You can use the Bing mobile app as well

FWIW Microsoft has Edge installers for Linux and Mac as well, I am using it on Debian
