      I think having all the search engines being front ends for just bing and google has just revealed an obvious weakness.

              I’m not quoting an article directly or anything so there’s likely better info out there, but brave browser was built with scammy crypto bro bullshit in it, and it’s CEO, iirc, is kind of an alt-right anti LGBTQ+ general douchebag. I’m sure you could search for more on the topic if DuckDuckGo was working.

      Funny thing is the way I found out bing was down is I searched for startpage in duckduckgo to try it thinking it might be a good alternative but when DDG wasnt working I tried it on ecosia. which was also down once I finally opened start page it wasn’t working either. Its all bing all the way down.

          they’ve also recently implemented an Al chatbot, which will probably offset all the trees they’ve ever planted in the next week or so

          edit: I read the comment above me too quickly, I was talking about Ecosia mentioned in the comment before that one, not Youcare.
