I duno how this isn't getting more views tbh

Ecosia and Duckduckgo and Bing are down, there's at least 5% of the search engine market (the non-google part) down at the moment

Man, can you imagine if this happened to Google! I’m so curious now.

I know ecosia relies on bing but why does this affect DDG? Do they internally use bing as well?

"Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing."

[hhh]

because not that many people use search engines other than google

[dzhiurgis]

which is surprising given how unbearable google has gotten

it's a bit like sticking to using windows in 2010

[adamomada]

It’s not surprising. For approximately everyone there are only two search engines: Chrome and Edge

[throwaway290]

It's not surprising given how much better it is than everything else

[ohthatsnotright]

I've been migrating away from google with their recent changes because it's gotten less and less useful in getting me the answers. DDG has done better, but it's not as good as Google used to be before it was taken over by MBAs.

[throwaway290]

DDG is Bing. Using DDG is supporting Microsoft. Even if Bing was better than Google I wouldn't do it on principle

[loloquwowndueo]

lol what? Google or Windows? Got a chuckle out of this either way.

[throwaway290]

who said anything about windows?
