You prob know this already, but if you duck-search, you can go to a slightly different entry point at https://noai.duckduckgo.com to do web searches without AI slop dumping on you.

I see they've dressed up the landing page there! Now more obviously non-AI. I mean, it's a selling feature, so yeah, go to town guys.

(if you still google things, consider the duck search! it's worked well for me for years, and the non-ai version is a nice step forward).

@ottaross I have the NO AI version set up as my preferred search engine

I can do that in DDG's own browser, but it's a PITA.

Tor offers it right in their dropdown menu with other search engines (yay).

What other browsers let you select NoAI DDG as your default search engine?

@callisto @darwinwoodka @ottaross You can add a custom search engine and then select it as default in Firefox (and forks thereof). Pretty painless.
