Update: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-outage-affects-bing-copilot-duckduckgo-and-chatgpt-internet-search/

It's also important to note that ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo are experiencing similar issues because they use the Bing API.

youcare.world is still up but that is based on google and I am not sure how legit the tree planting is. Not to mention their privacy policy mentions facebook which is always a red flag. https://youcare.world/privacy?l=en

they've also recently implemented an Al chatbot, which will probably offset all the trees they've ever planted in the next week or so

edit: I read the comment above me too quickly, I was talking about Ecosia mentioned in the comment before that one, not Youcare.
