Bruce WinterExploring AI through #DuckDuckGo is challenging. Chats are ok. Syncing and backing up, pinned chats, can't be done without using the DuckDuckGo browser.
"Search Assist. While it may not have the same AI capabilities as other search engines, it still provides a straightforward ... experience"
No it doesn't 🤫! Adding another browser is unnecessary, IF apps and devices talked to one another. Currently, they are purposely designed to keep the gardens walled, not to facilitate a simple user experience . #DuckDuckGo , #Apple.
Deleting History, on a Mac, will take out the pinned chats out!
hyperrealI've completed my free trial of Kagi and I can confirm that the quality of the search results it produces is superb.
A while back, I was searching for how to configure Postfix on Fedora CoreOS. I shared an image of my DDG search results, which showed genAI slop tutorial sites among the top three results.
I ran the same search query on Kagi, and the top two results were something close to what I wanted and which I could hypothetically work with. The thing is that there doesn't seem to be much info out there on setting up Postfix specifically on CoreOS to begin with.
On Kagi, the Shells KB slop site showed up as the third result, but Kagi allows me to report it as AI-generated and to exclude it from future search results.
Note: This should not be taken as a rigorous scientific study of a comparison between the two search engines. It's based on my direct experience.
Bearina@serimemo … oh. Crypto bros, bigots and Peter Thiel in one place. That must be good /s
Do you know better alternatives? Firefox and Vivaldi maybe like the article suggests? And for search engines I might take another look at #DuckDuckGo and #Ecosia.
Teddy / Domingo (🇨🇵/🇬🇧)#DuckDuckGo fait auditer son #VPN par Securitum : il n'a rien à envier aux ténors du marché. Le cabinet Securitum a passé au crible le VPN de DuckDuckGo pendant trois mois. Résultat : aucune trace de logs utilisateurs. La bonne nouvelle s'arrête là.

I'm really getting tired of Duck Duck Go returning results for my local area for nearly all of my searches despite those results being irrelevant to my search. It's insane that a privacy respecting search engine is constantly like "look look we know where you live.... Isn't that so cool?"
Sadly, there aren't any real alternatives (and no one say Kagi because fuck their AI shit)

Ivon Huang現在Google搜尋的界面太混亂了。為什麼不能只列出網頁結果就好，還要跳出一堆資訊卡和AI總結呢？
最近發現 #Duckduckgo 有提供各種輕量版網頁，確保你在各種極端情況都能進行搜尋。
相較之下， #Google 會擋非正規瀏覽器的流量，強制進行人機驗證，而且沒啟用JavaScript就無法載入網頁。
純HTML版本：https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/
不需要JS的版本， 適合極度重視隱私，不想網頁載入JS監控，或者用w3m這種終端機純文字瀏覽器的用戶。不能搜尋圖片。預設會啟用安全搜尋，需要切換到主站duckduckgo將其關閉。因為是靜態網頁，網址不會透露你搜尋了什麼。
Lite版 https://lite.duckduckgo.com/ : 也是不需要JS的版本，界面更精簡，網頁不到100kb，只有純文字組成。
Tor版本：適用Onion連線，可以搜尋到部分暗網。這些輕量版的網頁還有個好處，那就是不會吐出AI總結的答案。
但依然會顯示廣告，需要裝uBlock Origin阻擋。
嗯嘛...作為一個zoomer，我還是比較喜歡一般版本的Duckduckgo呀！
