  3. In 2026, Google’s AI defaults are pushing many creators to alternatives. A 12-query test finds #DuckDuckGo No-AI the best free day-to-day swap (55/60).

  5. I am currently very annoyed by #Firefox and #DuckDuckGo browser because they don't support updating from a non-admin macOS user very well. Duck Duck Go is also very insistent on wanting to be updated throwing dialogs im my face constantly.

  7. Update on Bing use-case: quickly view a Gregorian calendar month display with new features and without Copilot noise.

    In 2024, I wrote about a use-case for Bing where it vastly outshines all other search engines. https://tantek.com/2024/287/t3/bing-use-case-calendar-month

    Since then, Bing has added “Copilot” LLM generated results to the top of search results by default, and unfortunately they add zero value to calendar month searches and displays. Worse, Copilot’s “summary” can often be long enough to push the actual calendar month display “below the fold” as it were.

    Solution: add " -ai" to your query.

    E.g. assuming you’ve setup Firefox search shortcuts as I recommended (https://tantek.com/2024/287/t2/setup-search-shortcuts-firefox)

    Type this into your Firefox address bar:

    b 2026 sep -ai

    or directly go to https://bing.com/ and enter: 2026 sep -ai

    and press return. You should see a days and weeks grid display for September 2026, with the current day of the month (the 9th as I’m writing this) selected in the displayed month.


    Note the new calendar month display features since I last blogged this in 2024:
    * Day 252 — day of the year! September 9th of 2026 is the 252nd day of 2026.
    * Week 37 — Sept 9th is also on the 37th week of 2026
    * 31 days later — Sept 9th is 31 days from today (August 9th).
    * < [ Sep v ] > – little anglebracket arrows on either side of the month button/dropdown to one-click nav to the prev/next month
    * [ Start Day v ] — a new “Start Day” drop down button to change which day of the week to display as the start of the week

    Amazing that despite already being far better than any other search engine for year month queries, Bing has *improved* its calendar month display search results, while Duckduckgo, Google, Yahoo are just as useless (yes I checked) as they were two years ago (I also tried Ecosia and it was no better). I am hashtagging them all to see if anyone at those other search engines notices and gets around to implementing a similar calendar month display.

  11. DuckDuckGo's sunglasses fall into a product category we can only describe by what they’re missing. But what could be a term for this type of product?

  13. Warum werden bei alternativen #Suchmaschinen eigentlich meistens #ecosia oder #duckduckgo genannt?

    Meines Wissens hat #Startpage die besten Datenschutzbedingungen? Davon hört man aber sehr selten. Weder hier und noch weniger in der Öffentlichkeit.
    Ich nutze es schon als es noch Ixquick hieß.

    No camera. No AI. Just normal f***ing sunglasses. By DuckDuckGo.

    They only missed the chance to call them “Normal Ducking Sunglasses.”

  17. Weird. I have worn anti-ai sunglasses for years. Decades. 🤣

    Gluten free, sugar free, etc.

    Not organic though.

    Vielleicht hätten sie bei #DuckDuckGo jemanden fragen sollen, der sich damit auskennt?

    Fragt einfach mal eine (1) Frau, wie entspannend es ist, wenn der fremde Typ in der Nähe die Sonnenbrille aufzieht. 🙄

    (Könnte eins seit Jahrzehnten wissen, wenn's sowas denn wissen wollte.)

  30. I like DuckDuckGo's style here in creating sunglasses in response to Meta's intrusive sunglasses. What I really like though is the advertising by Knockaround, who is selling the sunglasses: Charge Life: Infinite, 0 Cameras, Seamless Offline Mode, and Zero Notifications Guaranteed!

    The sad thing though is that these type of "features" are going to become/are becoming real for people.

  35. I’d use #DuckDuckGo way more if it had paged results on mobile (rather than the endless scroll which they and #Google use). Yes, something that simple is enough for me to go to another #search. I’ve even used #Bing for that.
