Bing: always personalized

Like most I mostly use Google, but I have a question about Bing.

Every search, it says at the bottom my results are personalized.

I had once this issue with Google, and I chose don't personalize, or even better with Google now you have to log in. So I don't log in.

With Bing, no matter what I do, I go in circles, and it always says "results personalized" at the bottom. And I'm never logged in. And I think I choose not to personalzize, but maybe I can't find the save button? Lost. I don't know. lost. Thanks.

I can't help you with Bing but TOR Project and other groups interested in browsing security universally recommend DuckDuckGo as an alternative. I have been using it lately and have been very satisfied with the results.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?

Have you tried using the TOR browser to access Bing? Bing is an add on, but you can link it to the TOR search bar as well. You might give it a shot.

Thanks Joe, does not solve core issue of this test/ project, which is connecting to Bing without a proxy and without search personalization.
