Checking out 1.org and it looks like there's no AI chat or summaries. Unless I'm missing something?...

Absolutely! It's really difficult to find search engines with decent results that's untainted by AI.

@cynical13 @Waterfox DuckDuckGo (I know, I know) does have an AI-less mode, FWIW.

No, they do, and I've used it recently.

However, I'm genuinely struggling with using their search engine and turning off AI to show them how many of their customers do not want AI and using a company that's actively supporting AI and giving business to companies who have taken a stand against AI.

I'm leaning more towards the latter and only using things like No AI DDG when I have no other choice.
