FuckFuckNo. 🤦♀️
I just want a search engine that works. I have zero need for a godawful "AI" hallucinating mansplainer in my results. Just… no.
Time to move off of DDG. What else is out there?
Edit: yes, it seems to be for real:

"In October 2019, Privacy One Group, owned by adtech company System1, acquired a majority stake in Startpage."

That said... their results are often best even vs DDG, and the Anonymous View function is handy. I noticed ad links with uBO off, but otherwise nothing nasty.
However, I'm personally moving to self hosted SearxNG, and testing Yacy.
