Bing (and therefore duckduckgo) was down a couple days ago. I could imagine people temporarily switching to google during the outage.

Yea, had to use google for a few searches and man was it frustrating. Like, I was looking for the new beta nvidia drivers on Linux, and google, for some reason, didn’t see it necessary to show me the official nvidia site in the first page of results. In DuckDuckGo, later that day, when it was available again, it was result N°1

After one Google search on my work laptop I was looking for searx instances - a lot of those were going down too due to rate limiting 😭
