Microsoft seems to have rolled out a pretty interesting change that spoofs Google.com UI when you try to find Google when using Bing.com.

    Honestly, that’s actually smart and nobody is hurt here. Google by now is as shit as Bing, so there’s nothing wrong with using B instead of G. Let them downvotes come :)

      Is Google really as shit as Bing? I had to Ask Jeeves to confirm that.

      Misleading users is definitely harmful. Since this is obviously done on purpose, I’d say it’s malicious.

        yeah, you’re right, actually. if I have to fit this somewhere in my framework of things, it’d fall in the “dark pattern” box. so per definition it’s actually malicious.

        It’s malicious and I like it. What’s more entertaining than watching giants fight?

      I see this as an action intended to trick users.
