Cons
Con Not updated
However DMOZ makes use of volunteers to oversee each category and if you have ever tried to submit something to DMOZ you will agree that the volunteers don't do much volunteer work. Therefore the system is very outdated and should be retired in my opinion.
Con USA Based
USA based = no privacy. Don't trade ease of use over privacy!
Con Owned by Microsoft
Guaranteed censorship, guaranteed bias, and guaranteed absolutely no privacy.
Con No advanced search page
Con Very very slow
Bing has very slow load times compared to other engines.
