Pouring one out for the homies

  A bit besides the point, but I have been thinking about this.

  I currently use duckduckgo. However I have two problems:

  • Most of the results are usually SEO spam
  • The page takes a ton of time to load

  Google also has the first issue (though not nearly as much), and so do all its wrappers.

  The only search engine that made me feel more or less like I was getting decent results was kagi (especially with the fact that I could block and report AI slop and sites that I don’t like), but that’s just too expensive for me normally.

  What do ya’ll do for search?

    I’ve honestly been using Claude or chatgpt for it and specifically asking for sources. But as they get more desperate for money they’re going to start to have paid sponsorships…

    Someday soon:

  The easiest way to search without generating AI overviews is https://noai.duckduckgo.com

  I wish more search engines would implement something like this.

    If you want to use Google instead of Bing, but don’t want AI slop, set your default search engine to this.

    google.com/search?udm=14&q=%25s

    Along with ublock and Firefox, it gives me ad free, ai free, Google search.

  Google uses semantic caching, so if you submit a query that is the same as another query in terms of the AI response, it won’t be generating a new reply each time.

    Yah, why make Google work to de-anonymize me when I can just give someone my credit card so they know.

      You can pay with Bitcoin if you want, and there’s privacy pass. But I thought we were talking about forced AI overviews in search?
