Btw If you are not sure which instance of searx to pick look for one with your country code.

youcare.world is still up but that is based on google and I am not sure how legit the tree planting is. Not to mention their privacy policy mentions facebook which is always a red flag. https://youcare.world/privacy?l=en

Oh startpage is starting to work again maybe it was under extra load from people using it while bing is down?

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.

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

Cute I thought the headlights and plate looked like a face so I made some changes. https://imgur.com/a/nPXRRzP
I was not sure whether to add the eye brows or not.

Gamers_Mate , 3 months ago to Technology in Choose the planet, choose Ecosia: why you’re going to be asked to pick a search engine

Basically a Bing front-end that uses ad money to plant trees.

Gamers_Mate , 3 months ago to Technology in Google will start showing AI-powered search results to users who didn't opt in

Ecosia added ai chat which I think runs on the same thing as copilot. I don't see the point though and would like to be able to hide the ai chat option.
