DuckDuckGo is reportedly seeing a surge in users after Google pushed deeper AI integration into Search.

Some users appear to be moving toward privacy-focused and AI-optional alternatives instead of AI-generated search results by default.

Interesting shift in how people want to use the web.

DuckDuckGo installs are up 30% as users reject being ‘force-fed’ Google’s AI Search

In response to Google’s changes, many have begun defecting to DuckDuckGo, a privacy-focused alternative that has never been able to break past Google’s dominance, accounting for only around 2% of the U.S. search market. “Google is force-feeding AI with no way to opt out,” Weinberg said Tuesday in a statement, referring to Google’s Search overhaul. “As a result, their results are getting worse, not better. We want to be the place that puts users in charge and allows them to decide how much or how little AI they want.”

Everyone's cheering users for rejecting AI search by switching to DuckDuckGo. Ask AI is right on the search bar on the homepage, the DDG app Has AI in its official name. There is a no-AI option--on a subdomain most may never find. They didn't reject AI. They rejected Google and no choice. That's a real and meaningful distinction — it's just not the one being celebrated.

🚨 BREAKING 📣 Australia's Top News website rankings for April are here. ABC held No1, newscomau No2 and 🥁 Guardian Australia is the 4th biggest news website in the country for the 5th month in a row.

Thanks to the 7.4 million people who visited GdnAus in April 🙏

I posted this on LinkedIn when the results came out last Friday, but just getting it onto Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads now (pick your preference)

In March just four of the Top20 lost audience in a sea of green. In April just three of the Top20 gained audience in a sea of red. Is this an indication of Australians fleeing news sites, or the zero-click AI search armageddon writ large? No, March was an exceptionally big month for audiences across all publishers. The April audience losses might look terrible, but in most (not all) cases, it's just a return to where they were two months earlier.

Despite some falls larger than others, the top six rankings remain unchanged. Below that SBS rises to 7th and Daily Mail drops to 8th, while the BBC drops 3 spots and out of the Top10. Further down, The Conversation and DailyTele have dropped out of the Top20, while Forbes reenters the list for the first time in a long time, and The Nightly also reenters at No20.
 
GdnAus recorded the single biggest audience drop of -1.3m in April (-15%). That came after one of the biggest audience rises in the March Top20 (+870k), so ended up with an audience 420k smaller than the February result. DailyMail had the second biggest audience drop of -1.2m, but they've had quite a rollercoaster. They bled 836k readers in January, lost another 1.1m in February, gained 1.17m in March and then lost 1.2m in April. With an audience of 5m in April, they're down 3.7m from where they were in March last year.

Another record to mark. This is the first time in history that Guardian Australia has been ranked 4th or higher for five months in a row 👏  and it extends our record run to 10 consecutive months where Guardian Australia has been ranked 5th or higher. Historically we have held the No6 or 7 spot in perpetuity. 

I seem to have missed posting the March rankings here, so in the comments you'll find a link to my February rankings post instead.

Six #SearchEngines worth trying now that #Google isn’t really Google anymore. Now, when you search on Google, you’re given the option from the start to use AI mode. Even if you opt not to use AI mode, you might get a search result with an AI Overview, which will now include a chat box for you to ask follow-up questions. Once you open the chat box, Google begins to look more like ChatGPT than the search engine that’s ingrained itself into our lives for decades. This announcement didn’t elicit the reaction that Google would’ve hoped for. Instead, many users see this as yet another example of a tech company squeezing AI agents and chatbots into everything it can, making it impossible to navigate the internet without encountering a chatbot. —Will you be making a change, or going with the AI? #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #search

## Search libraries

Most of you already know that the search engine we were used to has devolved into an LLM hallucinated AI slop nightmare

I silently switched to DuckDuckGo a few of years ago. There are others also one of them is Kagi search.

Instead of telling you how all my experiences are I will just leave the beautiful links so you can surf, check, and see if they suit you. Translation currency conversion and everything else that I used on Google, I can easily do on DuckDuckGo where I have the most experience.
