I am out of the loop, what happened to duckduckgo?

[โ€“] [email protected] 192 points 6 months ago (1 children)

DuckDuckGo has changed its policy to DuckDuckStop. So now no one can use it anymore.

(I dunno DuckDuckGo is not working anymore. I think it has something to do with Microsofts servers)

It's back up now. They apparently use Bing as the backend search and Microsoft fsck'd it for a few hours: https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/23/24163094/microsoft-bing-search-outage-copilot-duckduckgo-chatgpt
