I kept Google as my default browser.... but I have Bing in a "Bookmark" folder of browsers in Safari.

... sorry.... I meant to say.... Google as my "default" search engine.... Bing in a "Bookmark" of search engines in Safari.

In Safari you change your main search engine by going to Safari>Preferences>General... and set the Home Page to the Bing home address.

i have thought of changing my default browser...because every time i scan my macbook for tracking cookies the only ones that ever show up are as a result of a google search...

Bing seems to have a more updated, classy format and so far supplies acceptable answers to every question. So for now, I'll keep both Bing and my old reliable Dogpile available on my Safari Bookmark Bar

Maybe I'll give bing a, errrr, "fling"!

I still think I prefer Clusty. Maybe after I use Bing a bit more . . . who knows.

Clusty is a search engine that categorizes results into clusters of related sites. For example, if you search for Benjamin Franklin, one of the clusters will be Biographies. Saves a lot of scrolling and reading.
