Les gens qui préconisez
noai.duckduckgo.com/ pour éviter l’IA dans #DuckDuckGo #DDG, je crains que ce ne soit une fausse bonne idée : depuis la page d’accueil, on est quand même invité-es à utiliser Duck.ai… Et contrairement au DDG normal, on peut pas désactiver ça dans les options (la section “AI Features” étant absente sur noai). 😔

#NoAI

Capture de la page d’accueil de DuckDuckGo (version noai.duckduckgo.com) : dans la pop-up de suggestions sur une recherche sur “terre”, on a en fin de liste une option (encadrée en rouge sur la capture) pour demander une recherche depuis Duck.ai (option censée être absente sur cette déclinaison de DDG…).

Probé #AdGuardDNS en Android y le encontré un error importante: al reiniciar el dispositivo, la aplicación (que funciona como una VPN local), no reconecta automáticamente, por lo que deja al usuario desprotegido. :mspoopflame: Mal ahí, che.

Volviendo a #AppTrackingProtection de #DuckDuckGo. :ddg:

I've been using the Duck Duck Go browser on Android for a while and it's been fine but now it has AI settings and the settings are saved in the cloud?!

My 'anonymous' browser stores its configuration on someone else's computer? What the actual fuck is that fuckery?

Am Ufer der #Spree im #TreptowerPark steht diese #Ulme. Sie gehört zu den 10 stärksten & ältesten Bäumen in #Berlin. Der Baum stand hier schon, da war der Park kein Park, sondern Wald. Seit diesem Jahr gehört diese Ulme zum Bestand vom #NationalerbeBaum. Das sind außergewöhnliche Uralt-Bäume, die die #DDG unter besonderen Schutz stellt. Um ausgezeichnet zu werden,muss ein Baum mindestens 400 Jahre alt sein 😳🌳

Sauriez-vous chers mastonautes comment s'affranchir de cette nouvelle connerie de Duckduckgo /DDG via Firefox sur Android?
À chaque requête, depuis 2 jours, j'ai le "droit" (devoir) d'élever des IA afin de prouver que je suis bien un humain et non pas un bot sous psychotropes shooté aux buvards numériques
J'aime utiliser DDG et Firefox mais là cela ne va plus être possible.

Captcha à la c** pour vérifier qu'on soit bien un puta*n d'humain avant d'accéder à une requête... #DDG enshitification

Please boost!

Good news everyone, NO AI DuckDuckGo has landed in Tor Browser as search engine to choose from.

This makes it much easier for Tor browser users to make the NO AI DDG the default search engine.

Let's make this known to more people to have a choice to avoid using AI.

This will likely be added to Mullvad browser as well.

If you are already using DDG please consider making the NO AI DDG version the default to help save the planet and to let the DuckDuckGo owners know that you do not always want to let AI automatically generate answers even when you did not ask for it. You can still use DDG with AI when you really need it at times.

The top three of the Search Shortcuts section of the search settings in Tor Browser. It shows DuckDuckGo, DuckDuckGo (no AI) and DuckDuckGo (.onion).Default Search Engine in the search settings of Tor Browser. Here the DuckDuckGo (no AI) is made the default.

FWIW noai.duckduckgo.com (ddg without AI crap) is the least annoying search engine I've used recently.

Not saying it's the best option, just the one that bugs me the least.

Dang, #DDG's font has changed!

Feels more rounded, if that makes sense. Kinda like the "Everything is Fine" font of #TheGoodPlace.

I use #ddg for searching, and at every search the try to make me use #ai. I switch if off and save settings, but as certsin as amen in a church, they offer it again next time I search.
Any hints?

Hey, iOS users (/techy people who know things):

Recently I noticed that Firefox on my phone — yes, I know it’s not actually FF — has been doing searches with DuckDuckGo.

Not sure when that happened, because I’ve been using StartPage for the last few years.

I went into the settings and, indeed, found that DDG was the set search engine. I changed it back to StartPage and backed out of that menu and tested it on a couple of sites. Because the last couple of times I made that change, it was StartPage for a while and then slid back to DDG on its own again.

… and that happened again. I can confirm it’s changing itself from StartPage to DDG within 20 minutes.

Any idea what’s happening and how to make it stop?

Is it just me or the #duckduckgo search engine has become a total crap? I've been using since... forever, but now comparing it's results with #startpage and it really sucks. WTH?

Interesting development:

As I told everyone when I got back from my vacation, I've disabled #DDG #AI features on all of my browsers.

One thing I did use it for in the recent past was for summaries of queries, because it was "easier" (not morally better) to just read the AI summary to get the gist of something than click through to some crappy site and deal with all of their active "content" getting in the way of the REAL content.

What I've done for now (on mobile only, so far) is installed the noscript extension, so that my default view of most websites is without JS. That way, I either get the content I need with no distractions, or a broken page, and I just move on to the next page.

Seems to be working pretty well so far.
