      I’ve used DDG on and off for years but switched to it full time when google started pushing their AI bullshit.

      The ONLY thing I miss is google maps when I search for a particular business or something - but pulling up maps when needed is just one extra step. No problem.

      Yeah Duck Duck Go is my default on my browser at home.

      I have also stumbled across alltheinternet.com and it has become my favorite. It feels like searching on Google 20 years ago, and I actually get unique, relevant results that Google and DDG don’t always give me.

        Why is all the news from Fox?

        Edit: oh, if you hit the little gear you can change the source of the headlines.

        After running a few test searches: I like it. Searching for “pickles” did not try to sell me pickles immediately. I’ll try it some more on my desktop at home.

        I used to use the internet, but that’s just a trend. Now I send all my emails by fax. Way more efficient, and better for the environment with all this AI chacosta going on.
