@ctt duckduckgo with no AI!

@Hammerwell @ctt But even there, in the results are more and more websites that are AI generated and actually have no relevant content to the topic you are looking for.
@exiltoaster @ctt Yes, that can't be helped. And they directly state what exactly they do. "With DuckDuckGo, AI is optional and private. We've turned off: AI-assisted answers, AI-generated images, AI feature suggestions

I’ve installed the add-ons uBlock Origin and Ghostery in Firefox.

@skylark13 thanks, I already do that on desktop but cannot on iOS 15.x.
And the cookie for dismissing Search Assist on regular DDG frequently expires

@urlyman But you could make DDG-NoAI search a bookmark on your standard browser on iOS. If you're using Safari, you can also put it on your home screen. Not the same thing as the standard search engine, but maybe a workaround? @skylark13 @ctt

@ctt Kagi beating Google haha. Love this bubble.

@ctt used this as a hint to dry out duckduckgo and again, and nope, sadly not electronics ready yet
(edit: see posts below!)I try this from time to time, throwing like "lm393 datasheet" at it, measuring how long I must scroll for a proper deep link to some PDF.
Google does this *very* consistently, so that's what I'll continue using

@ctt DDG noai mostly, but sometimes I try Mojeek since it has a very different view on the web...
(...even if I'm not even able to find my own web page with Mojeek - ok, I write maybe one new blog post per year, and it has few incoming links, but it's been online under the current address for over 20 years now, so like every other search engine has picked it up at least once or so.)
@galaxis @ctt May be worth reaching out to them: https://www.mojeek.com/bot.html
