If Firefox switched its default search engine from Google to Bing, I wonder how many Firefox users would even notice? Power users would complain for a day, then just switch their search settings back to Google. But I think switching to Bing (or Yahoo) would restore some healthy competition to the web.

I've been using Bing (and IE) for a few months now, after years of Google and Firefox.

I'd guess about half of my searches go like this:

* type into URL bar * get Bing result * after a quick glance: decide that result is useless * copy/paste into Google

I'd love to use Bing almost exclusively (especially since I'm really happy with my Lumia 630), but it is really frustrating sometimes.
