One way would be to switch your default search engine to Bing in Chrome.

I bet that doesn't stop it lol

Are you actually bots? I can't believe you would suggest either chrome or bing if privacy is a concern to you. It's firefox and duckduckgo all day, every day...

I mean, if I was a bot, I'd probably be more productive.

I think you might have meant to ask if I was a shill. But in any case, OP specifically asked a question in relation to using Chrome and related to being pressured to use Bing. While my suggestion was pretty tongue-in-cheek, it was still on topic. You saying "Use Firefox instead" is kind of a poor answer that might appeal to your bias, but isn't really on topic for this question. I would guess that OP is aware of other browser options.
