Same for Ecosia

So I've been ranting lately (as have others) about how big tech is moving on from the open user-driven internet and aiming to build its own new thing as an AI interface to all the hoovered data (rather than conventional search engines) ...

which makes this (and the underlying Bing going down) feel rather eerie.

How far away (in time or probability) is a complete collapse of the big search-engines ... as in they just aren't there any more?

Ah, because of this: https://lemmy.world/post/15710639

I noticed that bangs still work. For now I’m using !g until it’s back again

Startpage isn't working for me either, Google still works fine (if you want to call it that)

I thought it was just me, I thought something wrong was going on in my Windows installation.

EA app is also dead in the water for me, my library is not loading. It knows I have 4 games installed but all the names and icons are blank.

Can't even launch the games directly from their own exe.

That's one of the longest outages I've ever seen from a cloud company.

Swiss Cow is down as well it sees.
