DDG does a proper proxy from my side. Bing is not loaded when I load duckduckgo.com, unlike ecosia which loads bing.net and bing.com subdomains right in my browser.

> My source of rules are national level exams Even my sources are the same. I took multiple national level exams organized by the government and private colleges just a few months ago. The phones arent even allowed inside the exam hall.

These type of attacks are already known and out of scope for the bounty. Users giving their password on random popups asking for it is not something google can control.

This doesn't do a proper proxy to bing btw. Bing is loaded in your browser, not on their server. It knows who you are and what you search. Might as well use Google for better search results than bing. Unless you really wanna help plant

That was the month telegram launched? It's been 7 years. It was a new app. The same bug is still being used against it? Do you have any recent bugs? Or 'backdoors'? All their official apps are open source and reproducible. Mu

Your site is too hard to read on. Make the color of the font darker or the background lighter please. I had to copy to a notepad so I could read it. Edit: Apparently, dark mode users get this - https://i.imgur.com/5PHYac1.pn
