  There’s also the No AI version, that only contains a little AI. noai.duckduckgo.com

    I’ve seen AI in Firefox now too. I guess our choices will be ai little AII or a lot of AI from now on.

      Theres still browsers like waterfox, librewolf, palemoon, ungoogled chromium. For search engines theres SearX(NG), 4get.ca, YaCy, some more obscure ones like qwant or marginalia.search and a dozen other resellers of google and bing that nobody cares about.

    I tried lite.duckduckgo.com and also html.duckduckgo.com, but it’s a little too lite for me - I like the toolbar at the top to refine searches. NOAI will do me better, thanks.

    If you want to install it immediately click this link from the Mycroft project

  There’s also a medium version that’s heavier than that but lighter than the default UI html.duckduckgo.com

    Sure we are still talking about browsers and not Starbucks coffee? /jk

      If it was starbucks it would be like cramplestiltskin size or something not medium

  There’s also FrogFind that’s a wrapper for DDG that’ll let you actually view (some of) those results on some ridiculous hardware.

  (it burns, it hurts our eyeeees)

  Huh. That is indeed interesting. Have you figured out how to use this version as browser default?

    Assuming FF & derivates:

    DDG weirdly does not offer the little green plus you usually get in the search bar (dropdown).

    I recommend bookmarking Mycroft Project, or using its search plugin.

    For now, clicking this link should do you.

    After that you can right-click the icon => set as default.

    If you don’t have a separate search bar the process might differ slightly but should still be possible.

    Which browser are you using?

    • Lumidaub@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Firefox. I feel a bit stupid right now because I can’t figure this out.

    You add it…and in settings you chose duckduckgo lite

    • Lumidaub@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      What does “adding” it mean? Talk to me like I’m stupid.

  Thanks. Just switched to it. Waiting for their AI search assistant was getting old.
