Comment on YSK: It's possible to get search results from Google without the annoying 'AI' answers at the top
tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 5 weeks agoDDG AI chat is actually pretty decent, offers multiple options for free with no noticable limit; maps is dogshit agreed, still have to fall back to google, use uBlock and can remove the featured results on DDG.

Yeah I was more comparing how they push things on you, too. They’re of course much nicer, in particular because you can just turn things off, which is how it ought to work. I don’t mind things being default-on, most users would otherwise never realize stuff even exists. But it really needs to be able to be disabled, like how DDG allows it. (But sadly not for their godawful Apple Maps)

Yeah you’re not wrong, I used DDG without uBlock the other day and it’s basically become Google that “doesn’t track you”. Which I think is the main thing going for them. I wish they’d use OSM or something that’s actually not slow as fuck.
