  I hope they learn their lesson from their own poll.

    I mean, the poll was like as not a publicity stunt, to draw attention to the fact DDG is not doing AI. All the same, the fact they are making “no AI” a selling point is noteworthy.

      … the fact DDG is not doing AI.

      They are, unless you opt out.

      I still get a hunch of AI bullshit unless I go out of my way. Also I swear they keep reactivating it as much as google when you opt out (or select ddg no ai as your search engine in Firefox and still see that garbage).

  You can turn all the AI features off on regular DDG search settings. Best I can tell that achuevescthe same as using the no AI filter.

  Here’s a link to the Disable AI firefox plugin. Works on mobile and desktop.

  I’m looking forward to adding it to my browser settings as default search!

    Already doable in Firefox, just right click in the search box then add search engine ;)

      Just edit the ddg entry instead of adding a new one. It’s super easy to change the url for the search in settings.
