This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
yep, me too. you can put "-ai" at the end of your search to shut off the slop, but it's a PITA. Often I'll just go to DDG.
Still I prefer ecosia
I hope this takes off so DDG improves their search engine. I've tried to switch, but 2/3 of the time the results are off target and I end up back at Google anyway.
I've been using it for a couple of year now and I only double check Google maybe 1% of the time. And most of those times, I also can't find what I am looking for on Google. I also can't go back after getting used to the ! commands.
I tried ddg too and wasn't super happy, especially not when searching in a different language. I switched to Qwant and I'm very happy with it so can recommend trying that. There are other search engine options as well
I use duckduckgo for simple searches and google when it's something more complicated. I don't like google tho, too nosy and too much ads.
Are people already getting these AI-only, blue-link-less Google results? Mine are still normal.
Afaik they are rolling out the whole thing gradually over this summer. For now I think it triggers AI only results occasionally. Give it a few months.
