#DuckDuckGo

i686-powered lia<a href="https://mastodon.social/@marginalia" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@marginalia</a> Like, with one single exception, my results for "adhd bullet journal" on <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DuckDuckGo</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> were all super verbose lengthy AI-generated nonsense advice that ultimately said nothing of substance.And that exception is also just due to someone owning the domain "bulletjournal" verbatim.<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Marginalia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Marginalia</a> for me used to be just a fun toy or tech experiment, but now it's genuinely the only way I could possibly find information on some topics, even if I didn't want to. Crazy.

Aaron :bc:🖖Duck Duck Go is garbage, I’ve tried to stick with it, but I really need something better. Ugh.

El DuvelleThat's it, I am reaching my limit with the 'genAI' stuff. I moved from <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> to <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DuckDuckGo</a> years ago to avoid the privacy issues and avoid supporting a giant company that's destroying the planet - now DuckDuckGo keeps force-feeding me 'AI-assisted answers' that I DO NOT WANT. I've been using <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> for at least 15 years, for the same reasons, now I update <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> and "what's new with Firefox" you wonder? Well Firefox has a "new sidebar" that lets you "keep your AI assistant handy" - an "AI assistant" that I DO NOT WANT.Stop force-feeding us useless, invasive, energy-hungry 'AI' that nobody is asking for!Any suggestions for a No-AI equivalent to Duckduckgo?

Bhavani Shankar 💭Which search engine do you prefer? These are my favourites: 1. Mullvad leta 2. Searxng (self-hostable, sometimes just fails or gives results in other languages) 3. duckduckgo html 4.

Working Class GamesWas trying a duckduckgo search for a restaurant in town, and I clicked on a link to read it, then came back to the search results. Suddenly a bunch of links disappeared and the first two links were now tripadvisor.I selected hide site from these results and immediately a tripadvisor link from another url (different country) pops up. I kind of kept going and hiding about 15 results and new tripadvisor links kept popping up. This went on until "Search query entered was too long. Please shorten and try again."So is this a bing-underneath thing, or direct enshittification of duckduckgo?This is while using uBlockOrigin, but that didn't help, I didn't see any way that the ads differed from the normal links either.<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#search</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/searchEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#searchEngine</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/adsAdsEverywhere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adsAdsEverywhere</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/duckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#duckDuckGo</a>

Still Mad About CD Pricesdear <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DuckDuckGo</a> or other search engine: I want a little button next to every <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#search</a> result that lets me exclude it from all search results for me, personally, forever. With an option to block the entire domain.I'm definitely looking at <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pinterest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pinterest</a> but there's just a lot of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> slop out there. Tons of AI-generated websites. Even without the AI search "helper" things, I get a lot of shit that is just really low quality.I don't think I see this witih DDG (there is a "give feedback" button with unclear effects on my personal search experience) and I'm not familiar with many other search engines now (except google and no). But if there's something out there that already has this functionality, I'll be happy to check it out and happy for the referral. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/suggestion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#suggestion</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/featurerequest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#featurerequest</a>
