#ddg — Public Fediverse posts

Holy heck @ddg. I'm just trying to cross-reference 2 search keywords; a domain name and a topic, looking for pages under that domain on that topic. This is a basic web search function that DDG *used to* handle fine. Now it utterly refuses, even when I add a "+" between the 2 keywords.

Wow I never thought I'd be interested about smart glasses to be honest, but this makes me VERY interested! 😎

I HATE how I can't find good images anymore online. Every image search turns up to be at least 20% slop, IF NOT MORE. Google - slop, duckduckgo - slop I can report as slop but it doesn't disappear, Vivaldi - slop I can't report or block in any way even though it is anti AI search engine.

I can't use stock photo sites without AI, pinterest is AI riddled as well - where the ABSOLUTE FUCK can I find 100% human photography?

There are also settings for ‘No AI pics’ and to turn search assist off.

“Israeli President HERZOG Visits Australia’s Most SECRETIVE SPY Agency”

Who you associate with matters. I’m sure the previous matter isn’t related 🤪 … oh yeah, it’s not illegal in Aus to criticise Israel, so f*ck Israel.

A deep dive into DuckDuckGo. How their privacy search works, how private it is, how it stacks up against other alternate search engines like Brave & Searx and more.

Very detailed, in short DDG is a great place to start with very few tradeoffs

Neat video guide by fellow friend @dreamos82 on how to switch to the NoAI variant of DuckDuckGo and set it as default on Firefox-based browsers.

People move from search engine with #AI to search engine with AI per default

Wow! Hlasoval jsem v jedné anketě pro #DDG a koukám, že nejsem sám 😁 je fakt jasný, že #Mastodon je místo, kde mainstream úplně nefunguje 😁

In just a few days, since google announced its shift to All AI search, duck duck go has seen a huge influx of users,

18% growth overall, iPhone installs alone went up 33% and use of their dedicated no-AI search page increased 22%

DuckDuckGo offers more than private search, it also lets you try AI chatbots anonymously, filter AI-generated images, shorten URLs, and use other handy features that many users overlook.

Here are 10 tips for getting the most out of it

#duckDuckGo #DDG #Search #Privacy

Is anyone paying for #kagi_search or using the #orionbrowser they're making?

What do you think? I am thinking of trying their 100 search trial, but interested in how paying customers feel about it? I am a usually a #ddg user and have mostly weened myself off of Google.

Does kagi have their own crawler? If not where are their results coming from?

#search #paidsearch #privacy #freedomisntfree

Oooo, I didn't even realize that was an option in #DDG!

#NoAI #Slop #AInt

Great… looks like DuckDuckGo’s image page still shows GenAI images even when you toggle it not to!

#Ugh #Fail #DDG

Am I the only one who can't connect to #ddg #duckduckgo ?

@thibaultmol Very relatable - I also used #Kagi for a while and while #DDG has a site block function, it's not quite the same. I'll just give #Uruky a try tho, thanks! Did you ever check out @MetaGer? It's a similar project where you pay for your searches.

Isn't AI search great? I asked Google why bangs (Qwick search) on #Qwant doesn't work (the way I'm used to it from #DDG )

What would you expect the AI summary to link to? Well, a page which explains why bangs don't work, right?

Indeed, that's what the link (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJuMQSVxn74/) is about - kind of.

I don't find DDG nearly as good for web search as I used to. But one cool thing it enables is conveniently searching other services, using "bangs";

https://duckduckgo.com/bangs

For example, if I type "!w" in my search query, it redirects to Wikipedia and their internal search. "!fsd" similarly redirects to the Free Software Directory. They even allow us to search their competitors this way ("!b" for Bing or "!brave"), which is very cool of them.

@sirfharu
I can see the crap (right hand corner, extension nonsense) as well, but it does not state itself as tracking.

DDG Crap being blocked, and in the right corner do not click it, else it auto starts to download its extension. What nonsense #ddg
