Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI

I made lite.duckduckgo.com my homepage. No AI and super fast loading. AI would be fine if it was opt-in. Shoving it into everything to see what works just makes people hate it. Looking at you MS.

whoa nice! Thanks!

For people trying to configure that in mozilla (I am trying to get away from it but for now :/)

-> Edit -> Settings -> Search

"Search Shortcuts" -> Add (to add a search engine)

“Search Engine Name”: DuckDuckGo Lite

"URL with %s in place of search term": lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=%25s

“Keyword (optional)”: @ddgl (or pick whatever you like - it appears @ddg is hardcoded and gets refused)

-> Save Engine

scroll up to the top, "Default Search Engine"

from the dropdown list, select “DuckGuckGo Lite”

Done.

It’s horrible for the environment too and wastes electricity. It’s fucked up that Google makes everything you search an AI search.

  Well, Google is an evil megacorp, so not really surprising.

  There’s also https://html.duckduckgo.com. It’s like the main page, but without javascript.
