Yeah but those are just privacy protective Bing results, right?

    I've heard people say that the answer is no, but in looking into it just now myself it looks like rather it is sometimes yes as well.

    Basically the best way to describe it seems to be that it is "NOT Google, and MOSTLY does not want to be FULLY Bing (but still is somewhat, they're wanting to work on it, but to be clear they do have embedded Microsoft trackers that they are forced to leave in due to their licensing agreement)".
