    The AI bullcrap at the top, before actual search results, is what finally made me change my default engine to duckduckgo

      Same, I have tried DDG every once in a while but kept going back to google. Now google search doesn’t quite give me relevant results anymore and all the AI crap just takes all of their effort to work on search itself.

      Been using DDG for a few weeks now for personal and work related stuff - quite happy with it.

      I’ve fully committed to kagi now and don’t regret it. The results are actually helpful again and even their AI features are better. The search summary does not seem to hallucinate at all

      I don’t know about you but the sponsored results and all that search optimisation manipulation made me switch to DDG long before AI

      My only gripe with duck fuck go is I don’t allow access to my location and can never google (hehe) shit in my town without adding extra words for directions etc

        You don’t allow location and are surprised that it does not know you location? Am I missing something here? Why is that surprising?

        Yeah what annoys me aswell is that I don’t like to type anything into the search field so noone can steal my data, buttfuck go refuses to give me results that way

          What annoys me about cumslut go is that I like to put in fake searches to throw my FBI agent off the scent and it returns me random shit I don’t really want
