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…

    Has ddg ever really claimed to use its own index? I’ve always thought of it being a bing frontend

    edit: Apparently start page pulls from Google and Bing (going off of this)
