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...
As I stated here https://ttrpg.network/comment/7065350
It seems search engines supposedly using their own data, or acting as FE for Google, are down, too
Seems to be related to bing using AI now...

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 resultsShowShow
