Chloe Gilbert<p>Duck Duck Go is showing me ads at the top of the results. And uBlock origin isnt blocking it.

Luke T. Shumaker<p>Holy shit, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DuckDuckGo</span></a> has started showing (bad!) AI summaries for search results instead of excerpts from the page. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/DDG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DDG</span></a> results have been going downhill for a while, but this is just unusable.</p><p>(This is inherited from Bing.

Anna<p>So I have a cheap Disney subscription through a Malaysian app called Hotstar. There is a reason it is cheap and a reason that DDG is my fave engine.

Asbestos<p>My god web search is so bad. <br>You put in say "Barbra Wordsworth math program" <br>You get 15 results about any sort of math, then a few unrelated Barbra Wordsworth (fair enough) then about a dozen results about words and then a mix of random math and words links. |<br>It's like an annoying guy who won't listen and only hears about 10% of what you say and just keeps insisting on saying the same sort of shit. <br><a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>search</span></a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/DDG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DDG</span></a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/bullshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bullshit</span></a></p>
