@scottwilson NOAI is the #DuckDuckGo users' gateway drug to HTML: https://html.duckduckgo.com
Forgot that #DuckDuckGo is blocked in #Indonesia.

The search quality of #DuckDuckGo has been going downhill for a while now, thanks to #AI. Finally resubscribed to #Kagi.
OH MY WORD, the search result quality is incredible.
Better than #Google, better than anything else out there, hands down!
Kagi, take my money!

How to add DuckDuckGo (noai) to Google Chrome and Brave
(Also, see my similar post about doing this for Vivaldi - https://infosec.exchange/@scottwilson/115725021729571844, and for Firefox - https://infosec.exchange/@scottwilson/115725250696632578)
If you prefer an AI-free DuckDuckGo Search experience, you can use noai.duckduckgo.com instead of on duckduckgo.com. Searching on noai.duckduckgo.com works the same as search on duckduckgo.com, except all AI features are turned off and AI-generated images are filtered out of results by default.
NOTE: Truly, for better privacy, consider switching to Firefox, LibreWolf, Vivaldi, Brave, or Tor.
1. In Google Chrome or Brave, go to Settings, then Search Engines.
2. Click "Manage search engines and site search".
3. Scroll down to the "Site search" section, and lick the "Add" button.
4. Give it a meaningful name and nickname, and add "https://noai.duckduckgo.com/search?q=%25s" in the URL field.
5. Click "Add", then scroll up a little to the "Search engines" section. Find your new entry, click the three dots next to it, and select "Default" to make this the default search engine.
6. Exit Settings.

I’ve been following @pluralistic for a while, but I’ve never seen him interviewed. This was absolutely captivating. Truly. There were like fifteen bites I wanted to capture.
Cory is super smart. And his brain seems to work at the same speed my ADHD brain does, which helps me absorb what he’s saying.
(Pro tip: watch in DuckDuckGo, @invidious, or @FreeTube to avoid tracking.)
@markwyner What do you mean by watch in #duckduckgo? I'm curious

Wow, if you search for signal messenger on DuckDuckGo using Chrome, the actual @signalapp web site is the *third* entry following ads for “Signal Private Messenger – Free Download” that leads to the site appmaus.com and “Get Signal Messenger | Install Signal App” that leads to the site filelocations.com.
DuckDuckGo should be held criminally liable for anyone who ends up downloading malware because of this.

My #AI Slop article reporting and flagging #extension is at a point where I'm ready to share it more widely. As of today you can install it right from #Firefox here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/slop-farmer/
Help others by reporting slop articles, and then have pages from those domains flagged in users' searches on #DuckDuckGo
Support for other #search engines and other improvements are on the todo list. If you're interested in #contributing, report issues or create #PRs here:

Good news everyone, NO AI DuckDuckGo has landed in Tor Browser as search engine to choose from.
This makes it much easier for Tor browser users to make the NO AI DDG the default search engine.
Let's make this known to more people to have a choice to avoid using AI.
This will likely be added to Mullvad browser as well.
If you are already using DDG please consider making the NO AI DDG version the default to help save the planet and to let the DuckDuckGo owners know that you do not always want to let AI automatically generate answers even when you did not ask for it. You can still use DDG with AI when you really need it at times.
Default Search Engine in the search settings of Tor Browser. Here the DuckDuckGo (no AI) is made the default.
The top three of the Search Shortcuts section of the search settings in Tor Browser. It shows DuckDuckGo, DuckDuckGo (no AI) and DuckDuckGo (.onion).

Alternative a Google Search
Quali alternative a Google Search? Se volete riappropriarvi della privacy nelle vostre ricerche ecco qualche motori di ricerca alternativo!
https://www.lealternative.net/2019/10/18/alternative-a-google-search/
Intéressant point de vue de #VeronicaExplains, visiblement excédée des gens qui lui demandent son point de vue sur le moteur de recherche #Kagi. En résumé, elle n'apprécie pas, en particulier parce que cette entreprise prétend "humaniser le web" mais se complaît dans l'IA tout en arguant d'une supposée "neutralité" en matière de politique (on sait où ça mène...).
Perso, je teste depuis qq semaines et je ne comprends pas bien son intérêt par rapport à un #DuckDuckGo ?
DuckDuckGo now uses "DuckSansProduct" as its body font; a search for "DuckSansProduct" on DDG returns zero results.
@amalia12 @slothrop
#DuckDuckGo bietet das auch an
