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.

    searx, because it queries multiple engines that are accessible, and perhaps google frontends (whoogle, libre y, and that new mullvad thing).

    but for the past years I was exclusively using duckduckgo and it would be very said if it would go away :( I started recommending it to others too

      Yeah I’ve been using duckduckgo for a few years now and loving it, I really hope it doesn’t go away. Still waiting to hear from those guys about how this affects them.
