Weren't quant and ecosia both just google and bing proxies?
Yes but they are teaming up now to create their own index
https://blog.ecosia.org/eusp/
Looking forward to it, but might take a while before the English internet is indexed by them: "Starting in 2025, our new index will be added into the database pool to serve results in both the French and German language. We are starting small and in the home countries of both Qwant and Ecosia respectively. "
oh heck, nice!
Cool!
I thought duckduckgo was just using bing in the background as well.
It feels a bit like mobile phone providers, 3 big networks and all the rest just piggy back those with slimmer margins.
I just checked, duckduckgo uses bing, and has tracking for their ads
