• When users look up Google using Bing, the Microsoft-owned search engine displays a Google Doodle lookalike.
• The deceptive webpage could trick unsuspecting users into staying on Bing, as its layout closely resembles Google’s.
• The custom-designed page only appears when users search for Google, suggesting an intentional effort to mimic Google Search.

Microsoft is infamous for the desperate tactics it deploys to steer users away from Google’s search engine and Chrome web browser. For example, those trying to download Chrome via its Edge browser are presented with all sorts of petty popups begging them to rethink their decision. In its latest deceptive move, Microsoft is mimicking a Google Doodle whenever users look up Google using its Bing search engine.
