I use Firefox as a browser and either DuckDuckGo or Startpage as search engines.
I think you can't totally avoid Bing on Windows as Microsoft use Edge and Bing from their applications. Personally I avoid both Google and Bing because of the depth of tracking ... I have nothing to hide, I just find it offensive.

FWIW, my usual platform for most things is Xubuntu Linux and I never see probably Bing from there. AFAICS, swapping to a Mac just means swapping Bing tracking for Apple tracking.

Something else I do is set my browser to purge all cookies when closing. Generally when I'm using any deep tracking sites like those search engines or social media, I first close and restart the browse, use the site(s), then close and restart the browser again.
