Some downsides with this approach:
- search queries are performed directly from the clients computer so can't protect their privacy (since Custom Search JSON API have a daily limit of 10k queries)
- forced to use javascript, and the way it's implemented makes it difficult if not impossible to do even basic things like the loading animation cards
- ads are loaded from an iframe so you can't do any styling (except extremely limited options that they make available in their settings, but no matter what then it will be very ugly if you want to have a light/dark theme)
But there are of course many benefits as well, such as it being 'free' (Bing is ridiculously expensive IMO, and feels impossible to join their ad network to offset the costs.. which might explain why you see countless Bing proxies shut down after a few months) and search results are no doubt better than the ones you'd get from Bing.
