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

I thought Startpage uses Google?

it's been using both for a while.

Ah I didn't know that! Thanks!

Startpage web search uses google primarily and startpage mobile search uses bing primarily. That's why the mobile search was down but not the web search.
