Bing, He Loves Me
It's a he, right? Like Jesus, huh. Because Bing loves me anyway, despite my feelings towards "him" being ambivalent. I use, depending on the mood, either of Google, DuckDuckGo, and…

Before trying to explain the question, I can already tell you that the answer is negative. The so-called midway was possible when people were using Win98, WinXP or Win7. Nowadays,…
