Update: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-outage-affects-bing-copilot-duckduckgo-and-chatgpt-internet-search/

It’s also important to note that ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo are experiencing similar issues because they use the Bing API.

    Well they were dishonest about the product behavior in multiple cases, such as adding referral links to search results. That makes it a bad product.

      That is a much better argument. But I still use it because I finally get different results from bing or Google.

      I agree they were, but that’s the benefits of open source you can call out companies for doing stupid shit. Just like when Mozilla adds unnecessary telemetry.

        Brave products are not open source. Not their search, and not the browser. Your post wording seems to imply that it is.

          The browser is open source (MPL)

          I know the search is not but I thought the browser was on GitHub
