It’s impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing
what’s even the point of a download link if you don’t have a guide that tells you how to click the link
SearXNG is also amazing. The only reason I don’t use it more is because it doesn’t have an integration into the URL bar in Firefox.
Can’t you add it manually?
Yes, but you may need to mess with about:config. I just added Jira as a search engine so I can type ticket numbers.
we got woogle which is a frontend for google
Whoogle is dead.
oh
So, did it never occur to you that you can manually add custom search engine into Firefox?
Settings>search>manage alternate search engines>add search engine
Dude. When you’re looking at whatever search just right click in the url bar and there will be an option to add that search engine. Then in settings you can make it your default if you wish.
The reason I don’t use SearXNG is because the public instances always seem to be slow and or broken.
It does, look it up in the addon marketplace- been working great for me
Your search query is garbage incidentally. Unifying is a “feature” not the name of any particular software. You should have searched for the model of your hardware
…Nnnnno, there is literally a tool from Logitech called “Logitech Unifying Software,” which is the applet you need to reassign a Logitech Unifying receiver to a different device.
https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025297913-Unifying-Software
It’s describing the FEATURE! There are no downloads listed for a feature for a reason… you don’t load the actual software for instance “logitechoptions” “logitech options+” “G hub”
Not as garbage as your critical thinking abilities it would seem.
note how searching for the words logitech unifying don’t go to any current release of any software you would actually want to install whereas searching for “logitech” “name of hardware” actually take you to the current software for your actual hardware? Shocking I know.
you’re still butthurt about your downvotes? no one cares lol.
Is there a ConfidentlyIncorrect in here already?
Unifying is absolutely the name of software
It’s a goddamn feature the software has never been called unifying.
False
That seems to be untrue.
Maybe you should inform Logitech about that?

It’s describing the FEATURE! There are no downloads listed for a feature for a reason… you don’t load the actual software for instance “logitechoptions” “logitech options+” “G hub”
Also your own fucking link says explicitly that you can achieve the feature it describes with Logitech Options Plus! From your own goddamn link
. You can now personalize the experience of your Unifying devices with the powerful Logi Options+ App that lets you customize your supported Logitech devices so you can get more done.
Where are your downloads for that! They don’t call it that any longer
I mean… you went to Bing to search for a program. That’s something that a new or inexperienced user would do, and Bing tried to help. It gave a direct link to the software (a link which I just tested to be working and safe on a virtual machine), it instructed how to do it using the official website, and then as a third option, it gave a link to the website.
I know that a lot of people will automatically assume a site like Softonic is loaded with malware (and I don’t have the time to refute all of those claims) but the download they provided of the software was just a mirror of the official download and came with no added malware, spyware, or adware. Use at your own risk, but OP is pretty clearly fearmongering in an attempt to get people to give them internet points.
This is absurd.
Typing “Logitech unifying software download” in the address bar is massively less effort than navigating their shitshow of a site. It’s not a sign of inexperience in any way.
Allowing an ad with any third party download is an insane policy, and it is not a legitimate practice at all to use an unreliable third party with a well deserved bad reputation to download software in place of the manufacturer.
And to add insult to injury…
People are going to see this, so here’s the answer.
Logitech’s web UI is crap. See that tiny, unlabled triangle on the list on the left?
Click it and pick your OS version.
Then you get the download.
…huh. TIL.
The last time I had to download the unifying software it was more obvious than that.
Borderline?
There’s still DuckDuckGo, or Kagi if you are rich.

what about concepts?
Doesnt Duck use bing?
Yes.
Yes, and DDG has really been degrading over the last few months in quality of results imo.
I’ll be honest, DDG has never blown me away and I’ve been using it for roughly 5 years. It’s not awful or anything, but maybe once every month or two I need to resort to Google because it can’t find something. I’m absolutely willing to sacrifice some quality for privacy in the general case, though.
Yes, it has never been the best in terms of relevance or depth of index. But lately when I do searches for something like “cherry shrimp aquarium water quality requirements” I’ve been overwhelmed by AI-written SEO blogs. Where google still pulls up results from forums, reddit, other relevant actual humans talking.
I noticed this as well. It’s a shame as I still use it as my daily search driver.
Mainstream search engines (google and bing) are completely useless. Alternatives ftw.
I wouldn’t call bing mainstream
sadly it seems that most other search engines (like ddg) can be quite lacklustre in their image results
DDG image search feels a lot loke Google image search 20 years ago. Absolutely wild stuff that isn’t even related, or just straight up porn in the reaults.
Spot on
Yandex used to be really great. idk bout now though.
How is Softonic still allowed to advertise it’s literally Malware
Google: 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑💰💰💰💰💰

Just so I understand. I should not be downloading anything from there?
I clicked a link just yesterday, but something felt off so I backed out and went to the MSI page to download afterburner.
No never. Softonic repackages existing programs with a malware bundle.
Why is that even allowed and why are search engines not held accountable.
Like piracy bad, but this is cool I guess.
It’s all free software, so nobody cares because they don’t stand to gain any money from fixing it. #CapitalismRocks
it’s Microsoft. You don’t need to edgelord censor yourself.
Yeah, you’re totally allowed to cuss on the internet.
It’s amazing how bad that is.
The only thing bing is good for is watching porn and I will stand by that opinion.
How?
Just do a video search for whatever your kink is and turn off safe search
Oh I thought it has some hidden proxy feature to access porn in workspace.
“Do you guys not have phones?”
We prefer the big display wall at work, that’s the point of workplace. Anyone can watch anything on phone anywhere, why would I go to work for that?
Brother got experience
How does Microsoft’s compare to M*crosoft’s?
Not sure, but I am a fan of Mpcrosoft’s search
Next time just go directly to the domain. You don’t need to rely on a search engine for all web navigation, you know.
Yeah but then I would have to navigate logitech’s stupid website to find the download button… and then navigate it again, because turns out the software for pairing standard receivers is completely separate from the software for pairing unifying receivers… Sigh… But hey, at least it doesn’t force you to make an account!
I have to constantly remind myself that the average user today cannot tell the difference between a search engine and a web browser.
And we have the URL bar pulling double duty as a search engine entry form to thank for that.
I strongly fought for the Omnibar in the mid 2000’s as a pro-user feature and I regret everything. I was wrong.
Sometimes you just can’t guess the domain name of a company you know. Also, it doesn’t help that most companies website are fucking nightmare to navigate so having the relevant page on the first click is nice too
using a searchengine helps avoid domain squatting phishing. this is why I like domain bar as a search engine. if it’s new I search it, if it’s a place I’ve been to before it autocompletes the url.
Softonic be like every app you want we have it, even the non exist ones. But once you installed our apps you already have made a pact with the devil
Does anyone know exactly what malware they are serving? I’m tempted to run it though virustotal.
It’s not malware it’s more adware. At least it used to be
At least what you are looking for, is on the first page. With Google you get half a page of ads not relevant to your search, and two pages of SEO garbage, before you get to a relevant search.
