Feeling like you have to include #AI in your already perfectly fine application is one thing, but putting it in the position where the returning user would expect to see legacy #UI (read: the part that always used to work) should be met with throwing whoever planned the feature into #UX jail.

Yes, I was looking at #DuckDuckGo.
Yes, #UblockOrigin stepped in to remove this annoying feature.

Holy shit, #DuckDuckGo has started showing (bad!) AI summaries for search results instead of excerpts from the page. #DDG results have been going downhill for a while, but this is just unusable.

(This is inherited from Bing. DDG once had its own search results, but has just been Bing for a while now.)

What are y'all using for search engines these days?

I've noticed lately that Duckduckgo had started shoving it's A.I. search results into my searches. A quick hunt around & I've found that you can switch it off by using this link or adding these 2 parameters to your searches...

Últimamenteel navegador DuckDuckGo me da respuestas pésimas. Hoy es que se está luciendo. La verdad, nunca lo he tenido por genial, pero bueno por salir de Google €€€€ un ratico…

¿Ha pasado algo? Sé que implementó lo de la IA o algo así, yo no la uso y creo que no he activado nada. Pues desnortado está.

Jesus Christ! Not only has DuckDuckGo set up a specific website just for AI shit recently – now they have even started showing LLM generated bullshit by default in their search results. I don't want this! I never asked for this! Duck your climate destroying spam and propaganda machine!

I really need to get my act together and find a new search engine ASAP. But I can't say I've heard about anyone I'm convinced about, unfortunately. What do you recommend?
