Recent reviews

Bing.com used to be great, but now Appears to have stopped updating regularly, nothing but issues the last few months. [Bing Video previews] is the main reason have used Bing search over the years, No longer works, no matter what, even with all permissions, and browser tweaking. The [Bing shopping search filter] does not ever improve, but Bing video and shopping search, just keeps getting worse and worse, more outdated and useless. Hope developers bring it back to life soon.

Is Microsoft Bing Search Engine Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Microsoft Bing Search Engine requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
