I just got massively ratio'd by suggesting duck duck go here a week or two ago.

Do you know why people hate it? It's my go to in all honesty.

They push ai and only proxy bing result.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can you link me any source?

I'm not saying you're wrong, just want to learn about it myself.

[–] far_university1990@reddthat.com 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

To see ai just search in ddg.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo

In July 2016, DuckDuckGo officially announced the extension of its partnership with Yahoo! that brought new features to all users of the search engine, including date filtering of results and additional site links. It also partners with Bing, Yandex, and Wikipedia to produce results or make use of features offered.

Bing biggest of three partner. Read also a while ago bing result very similar to ddg result.

Ohhh.

Thanks for letting me know homie!

Also the Browser is just Chrome rebrand. Get IronFox and set DDG as your search engine if you really want it.

Thanks for the info homie!

Can I ask if you're a bigger fan of brave? I just read they use compute cycles to mine crypto.

Is that true?

Brave is also a Chrome rebrand and has some sketchy history already.

DL'd for Arch.

But libre isn't available for Android. :: sad tear::

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 3 points 2 weeks ago

No that's where you use IronFox

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can use DDG completely without AI. People are upset once again over nothing with that one imo

[–] far_university1990@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

The default is ai on. Ai shouldopt in. Same as privacy violation.

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Me too. I break out to google with a !g when necessary, which is maybe 1/3 of the time depending on the subject (maps, technical)

[–] Candice_the_elephant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I keep chrome installed purely for Google apps. Edge for MS apps (mainly for work). Brave for porn with a VPN only so I can save cookies with my preferences, and lastly Firefox focus for browsing and default open as it clears everything on close automatically.

I don't install social media apps unless they are 3rd party and don't have tracking and ads, lemmy has some great apps.

Gotta keep them separated now.

I knew it was brave to admit that on here lol

I'll find an alternate browser for my occasional fap sessions to keep you happy :)

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago
