This is a very low-information announcement here but if this is taken to the extreme, it means that DuckDuckGo, Qwant, and many other so-called “alternative” search engines are going to either have to look for a new provider of results, or die.
Unpopular opinion: Bing is better than Google in recommending Edge browser
I use Opera on a Mac for all my Bing-based Edge-recommending needs.

So all tiers are getting discontinued… Unless there is an unlisted custom tier? It’s hard to imagine duckducgo only processing 250 requests per second. But then maybe that is enough and didn’t they make their own index anyways? Maybe that was to ease the load
Oh and they suggest using ai instead
DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Qwant, Ecosia… the last two have been working together to make their own index, hopefully it’s going to be usable by then.
Bing? People use Bing?
If you use DuckDuckGo, you’re essentially using Bing.
I did not know this. I find duckduckgo to be more useful than Google most times now. It’s crazy how bad Google has become.
(some) alternative search engines use Bing because building an index is hard and the only project I know of doing this work from base is Mojeek: https://www.mojeek.com/
You don’t? It is by far the best search engine for porn in existence, especially Bing Video.
This is true. Omg. I forgot! I haven’t searched for porn in so long! I just to live shows now.
So… let’s see what we can work with→
- Swisscows
- Mojeek
- Gibiru
- PriEco
- Wiby
I have no clue TBH, but there needs to be a community-funded initiative to have a (De)Centralized repository of search-indices
Swisscows I don’t believe has an index, Mojeek does.
I’ve heard that Swisscows does, although you won’t find any 18+ stuff.
