Bing and Google are NOT browsers.  Microsoft has a browser &#8211; Microsoft Edge and Google has a browser &#8211; Google Chrome.  In this post, however, we&#8217;re talking about the search engines from these two companies and not browsers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Primarily, when people ask me these questions, they follow the question by these comments:  &#8220;I don&#8217;t like Bing,&#8221; and &#8220;I don&#8217;t trust Google.&#8221;  This scenario is so commonplace, I&#8217;m surprised I&#8217;m just now getting around to talking about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the record, I use both of these search engines.  I tend to like Bing better than Google but I&#8217;d say I use them equally.  When people tell me they don&#8217;t like Bing, I often ask &#8220;Have you really given Bing a chance?&#8221;  When they tell me they don&#8217;t trust Google, I usually remind them that, if you&#8217;re on the Internet, most of your privacy is gone as that seems to be part of the beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s get back to the basic question: how do you get rid of either Bing or Google?  In reality, you can&#8217;t get &#8220;rid&#8221; of either of them.  Many web pages which provide a search ability, including our page <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"www.4kcc.com\/help (opens in a new tab)\">www.4kcc.com\/help<\/a><\/strong>, use either Bing or Google to power those searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you are talking about on your own computer, you <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">can<\/span> change the default search engine.  The method for changing the search engine varies depending on which browser you are using.  As a help, I&#8217;m going to create a number of short videos showing you how to accomplish this task.  If you follow our <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"YouTube channel (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCCeM7O2baudUMSuZdJoQfkw\/\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube channel<\/a><\/strong>, you will know when I post them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the questions I hear often is &#8220;How can I get rid of Bing?&#8221; If not that question, then this one: &#8220;How can I get rid of Google?&#8221; Before I can explain how to get rid of them, I need to talk about what they are.
