Free, does not take your data, you can turn the ai thing on and off
And even https://noai.duckduckgo.com/
Doesn't have it off by default, and not all browsers let you set a custom search engine to direct to the "No AI" version
I still use DDG since it's the least bad, but it's still hypocritical for a "private" search engine to default to an AI
If you don't clear your cookies on these other browsers, tap the settings icon of search assist placed on the top right corner, and select Never.
(Though I've recently been told that it uses Bing's index, so real searches may struggle.)
yeah, it's reasonably good, only struggles with more niche searches - when I search for seemingly unrelated topics it often falls back to showing ~5 generic links for one of the topics, then ~5 generic links for the other, but if I search for the same with Google &udm=14, it finds the specific niche overlap I was looking for
It's pretty good nowadays.
