i remember googling a script how to code in a something google engine with a -noai into my firefox. not one week passes and that search extension has somehow turned into an ai exclusive search engine swear to, uh, fuck. i forgot i can't believe i legitimately have to look this one up. Hieronymous Theodor Richter and Ferdinand Reich, gods of me breaking electronics whenever i walk into the fucking room. my religion is getting so goddamned weird my wife is right. anyways that was when i stopped using google for good and using duckduckgo. but even the duckduckgo-noai bullshit script did that, i did all the antivirus malwarebytes bullshit swear to... fuck. Hieronymous Theodor Richter and Ferdinand Reich. I really should have picked people to engodden with shorter and easier to remember names, like Pierre Jules Cesar Jannsenn. Anysays, i just ended up having to make a duckducklogin and tell it no ai which doesn't that defeat the purpose of going from the duck?

If you change your region to France on Google it doesn’t give you the default AI results.

DDG is relying on Google to get the results, no?

who knew...

Oh yeah wasn't that coming out today? How'd that go?

It's also the search engine that doesn't bitch if you use a VPN

I haven't used Google for about three years now, other than to compare it to DDG results now and then.

They are not the same, in spite of the claims of others on Lemmy.

DDG does have an AI assistant that you can turn off (allegedly). This is on Firefox browser, Windows OS.

yeah that's what i meant
