Is it just me or are many independent search engines down? Duckduckgo, my go to engine, qwant, ecosia, startpage… All down? The only hint I got was on the qwant page…
Edit: it all seems to be related to bing being down. I hope the independent engines will find a way to get really independent…
Seems to be related to bing using AI now…

“We’re totally not just rewrapping Bing results!!!”
Yet, DuckDuckGo and Startpage seem down, too.
Even though DDG supposedly uses its own results, and SP supposedly is a FE for GoogleDDG uses Bing results and SP aggregates Google and Bing resultshttps://downdetector.com/status/bing/
Shocker.
