Firefox, which was created from the ashes of Netscape, which was burned down by none other than Microsoft, is now going in bed with the same Microsoft. The interesting point is Microsoft's Bing gives out 'confusing' results.
We did a test and searched for Open Source Office Suite. The results were obvious for any user. You must see OpenOffice and LibreOffice as top results. When we Googled. We got the expected Results.
![]() |
| Google Shows LibreOffice and OpenOffice in the first page |
But when we Binged, LibreOffice was no where to be found on the first page.
![]() |
| There is no LibreOffice on the Bing first page. |
Well, we looked for another direct competitor to Microsoft -- Open Source Operating System. This is what Google showed.
![]() |
| Google shows Linux and Debian on first page. |
And this is what Bing showed.
![]() |
| Bing doesn't show Linux or Debian on the first page. |
Despite these flawed results of Bing which are kind of filtering out open source technologies, Firefox is going with Bing. So, next time when someone searches Mozilla Microsoft Firefox, they will not find LibreOffice or Linux on the first pages. Well, it seems like Firefox has made its choice. What is your choice?
