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...

That's what that is. Shit.

Well, brave search works. Any others?

Kagi works too

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I'm liking Kagi at first blush, thanks for the tip

one of the nicest (and controversial) tools is the option to have AI summarize a webpage. I hate it and love it at the same time

I find it quite ethical. Its fastGPT protocol gives hyperlinks too all of it sources used. Its like AI without thw stealing.

We love to hate AI because it is overvalued, at the same time I'm currently 90% done with my work week thanks to some cheeky AI use. Guilty pleasures.

I use an instance from http://searx.space almost exclusively.
