Now and then I read an article online and the site pops up a little box asking if I want to include them as a preferred source in Google search.

Knock yourself out, dude, but I haven't used Google search in months.

#DuckDuckGo


Moi c'est #DuckDuckGo (Écosia avant), ce choix n'est pas la panacée. Bravo à vous, il faut un début à tout. Je n'ai qu'un regret c'est d'avoir sauté dans la machine des #GAFAM (faut avouer que le système est bien foutu pour nous y conduire): plus de 10 années de conscientisation mais que depuis 2 ans que j'agis vraiment. Un pas à la fois, suivez ces comptes: @clicetcetera, @nitot et lisez ces pistes 1- sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?i… 2- clicetcetera.fr/general/letat-… 3- european-alternatives.eu/


Je pose la question sans méchanceté, mais ce pourrait-il que le nom de #DuckDuckGo et son dessin de canard un peu, disons, moche soient en partie, peut-être, dans une certaine mesure, un frein à l’adoption de DuckDuckGo?

Un peu dans la même ligne de pensée, le nom CHATONS pour le Collectifs des Hébergeurs Alternatifs Transparents Ouverts Neutres et Solidaires, c’est pas un peu bizounours?


#duckduckgo avec l'extension mozilla duckduckgo noai.
Si jamais tu cherches des alternatives aux services proposés par les GAFAMs, le site @alternativeto est très pratique.


Sometimes I don't know why #Duckduckgo is allowed to call itself a search engine. I enter a term with a specific phrase in quotes, explicitly want to ignore a certain other word and prefix it with a minus, and DDG is like:

"Hey I have found something for the third and sixth word in your query, I will ignore *everything* else and show only results for these." 🤦‍♂️



#AIslop is already dying and along with it any company who onboarded with this kind of #enshittification.

#Duckduckgo has launched a noai search service which has seen a spike in traffic after #microslop entrenched #windows even more with AI. This is not just an isolated incident, but a trend already.


My sister sent me a Google link with search results about something we'd discussed. I thanked her, and then suggested using "No AI" DuckDuckGo for searches in future. Then sent her this link:

noai.duckduckgo.com/

I know there are other search engine options but switching from google.com to this link is fairly painless. Crossing my fingers that this makes an impact and she makes the switch! 🤞

Eine recht ausführliche Analyse der Suchmaschine DuckDuckGo von @Proton. Fazit: DuckDuckGo ist nicht perfekt, aber aus Datenschutzperspektive betrachtet immerhin sehr viel weniger invasiv als die Suche von Google. Ich verwende derzeit am häufigsten @Ecosia, gefolgt von DuckDuckGo.

#duckduckgo unfortunately it is not reachable from my vantage point.

#IPv6



#DuckDuckGo installs jumped 18% after #Google killed the blue links. On Apple devices, the spike hit 70%. - thenextweb.com/news/duckduckgo… " Traffic to DuckDuckGo's #AI-free search page rose 23% in the same week. CEO Gabriel Weinberg says Google is "force-feeding AI with no way to opt out." "



So maybe DDG should take the hint & rather than tepidly tagging along on the AI bullshit, take a full stance that A. people don't want AI & B. it FUCKING DOES NOT! make search better, or even just not worse, so "We're the AI-free search engine".

This message also goes out to StartPage, who at least put the AI bullshit a few clicks down but have so far have equally missed the opportunity to take a stance.

- and don't get me started on Kagi...

#search #DuckDuckGo #Startpage #Kagi


DuckDuckGo's AI-free search saw nearly 28% more visits in the week following Google's insistence that people love AI mode. Is anyone surprised by this result?
