@IntrepidVector@glaceon.social @lexfeathers@tenforward.social I see... Not really a choice if you clear cookies regularly and it defaults to it turned on and not to it turned off... I avoid it by going to https://lite.duckduckgo.com, the version without JavaScripts and without LLMs, but it doesn't have picture search, so for picture search I instead have to remember to type in https://noai.duckduckgo.com, which is somewhat annoying...

@vaporeon_@glaceon.social @IntrepidVector@glaceon.social Yeah it's not great. Afaik some browsers are offering it as a default search engine? I heard librewolf is in talks about adding it as a default option.

@vaporeon_@glaceon.social @IntrepidVector@glaceon.social @lexfeathers@tenforward.social it's a bit annoying to do it for each browser across devices but you can add and set the noai version as the default search engine

@vaporeon_@glaceon.social @IntrepidVector@glaceon.social @lexfeathers@tenforward.social I've immediately changed my default search bar url to that with noai

@vaporeon_@glaceon.social @IntrepidVector@glaceon.social @lexfeathers@tenforward.social They have URL parameters you can use for settings like this, dig around in the settings you'll find them.
