EDIIT :
Apparently, there is an issue with the warning request to disable the ad blocker
I use Fennec F-Droid and Cromite, and I don’t see this issue.
to get around the adblocker warning, use this link.
More people will probably switch when they figure out they don’t need to install anything and can change their default search engine on their current browser.
FTFY
Thank you for this! I changed to duckduckgo just now and it took 5 seconds. Now to see if it works as well as Google.
The bangs are the addictive feature for me. You start by typing
!w lemmyin the URL bar, with DDG already configured as the default search engine, and DDG will directly serve the search result for this term from Wikipedia. There are hundreds of them like!ytfor YouTube or!gmfor Google Maps, and the acronyms are intuitive. https://duckduckgo.com/bangsThis should be a YSK post
O_o I had no idea. This is really useful.
Happy to help - feel free to spread the word!
You can also set up the ai-free search, noai.duckduckgo.com, as a custom search engine.
Whoa, that’s great news. Thanks for that!
It doesn’t and when you discover that, try Kagi.
People here love things to be free and in doing so, they recommend worse search engines.
Is the search engine open source? Is it self-hostable? If the a answer to both questions, especially the first, is no, then it can be easly ignored tbh, and Kagi is also paid so it’s really a bad suggestion (unless you mention it), people ain’t gonna switch from free to paid that easly.
I have to pay someone and then hope that they don’t sell my data? Hell nah;
Before you say anything releated to DDG: no, i am not saying you should choose DDG, that it’s the better decision, the next best search engine, what i said is unreleated to DDG specifically
that is on level that i meanwhile believe 90% of people can’t handle or even understand
