I've changed my default search back to #DuckDuckGo, far from perfect but at least it asks "Do you just want to search for nnnn?" rather than insisting that you must have made a mistake.

Is https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ working for you? I get the following error message when trying to search:

"The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

Is there any way to solve this?

DuckDuckGo

If you search for famous artists on #duckduckgo , they change their logo to match the result.

On each search result, the Duck Duck Go logo is themed after the artist. The Monet duck is wearing a flatcap hat, the Van Gogh duck has a ginger beard, the Dali duck has a thin moustache, and the Kahlo duck is dressed in bright floral colours

I really liked #DuckDuckGo but in recent weeks or months its results for technical searches are vastly inferior to Google.

DDG routinely shows dozens of results from the same domain(s), or results vaguely related to the search terms. As if a lot of context is missing.

Prefixing my technical searches with "!g" to get Google results makes me sad but helps me find what I need.

And I hate it. Come on #Duck, get your act together.

I may have to switch away from the #DuckDuckGo browser, to @Vivaldi, at least for some sites.

It's not even for a security or privacy reason. Some sites do not consider "dark mode" users when they're being designed. Image backgrounds in some cases make "dark mode" mean "invisible text mode".

DDG doesn't have, or at least not obviously, a quick on/off per site. But it's built in with #Vivaldi.

For transparency : you can achieve this in #Midori with Dark Reader too.

Re; Search Engine Shortcuts in Firefox

James at James' Coffee Blog published a good post in 2024 titled Search engine shortcuts in Firefox, which regular New Leaf Journal readers will know is a topic near and dear to my heart. James demonstrated how to add search engine shortcuts to Firefox using the search box (which, readers should note, is distinct from running searches in the omnibar address bar (HT to yoasif for the correction; see source in Firefox docs) and provided a nice tutorial on how to assign and use shortcuts to […]

DuckDuckGo ohne KI

Ich lasse beim Beenden meines Browsers immer alle Cookies löschen. Dadurch ist die Einstellung in DDG, KI-Features nicht zu nutzen, beim nächsten Start des Browsers wieder weg, da dies über Cookies geschieht.

DuckDuckGo ohne KI

Problem: Meine DDG-Einstellung (KI-Features) geht nach Browser-Neustart verloren, da sie nur per Cookie gespeichert wird und ich diese immer lösche.
