Duck Duck Go is showing me ads at the top of the results. And uBlock origin isnt blocking it. So fuck DDG.

Holy shit, #DuckDuckGo has started showing (bad!) AI summaries for search results instead of excerpts from the page. #DDG results have been going downhill for a while, but this is just unusable.
(This is inherited from Bing. DDG once had its own search results, but has just been Bing for a while now.)
What are y'all using for search engines these days?

Did you know?
There is an HTML only version of DuckDuckGo? I didn't until I discovered it by accident a few minutes ago.

@mthie @derbruesseler Vielleicht ist Dein Login für Dich relevanter als für mich. Aber bei mir wird der nicht ganz oben angezeigt. #ddg

@mthie @derbruesseler Das dachte ich mir fast ;-)
Aber ich wollte damit auch nur sagen: Vielleicht habe ich mir inzwischen eine Art angeeignet, mit der ich bei #ddg alles finde, was ich suche.

@kaffeeringe Ehrlich gesagt empfinde ich es wie @derbruesseler - die Gewichtung der Suchergebnisse bei #ddg sind echt nicht gut. Google hat mal gesagt, dass sie Kontexte mitberücksichtigen.
Wenn also jemand ein Dev ist und zum Beispiel nach "Go" sucht, wird er mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit nicht das uralte Spiel aus Asien meinen.
Diese Kontexte ignoriert DDG und hat dadurch teilweise bescheidene Ergebnisse, obwohl es datenschutztechnisch bestimmt sinnvoll ist.

@derbruesseler Ich glaube, es ist wie auch bei Leuten, die sich nicht von Microsoft lösen können:
Wenn man bei #DuckDuckGo etwas nicht findet, ist #DDG schlecht.
Wenn man bei #Google etwas nicht findet, hätte es eh kein anderer Dienst besser gemacht.
Ich suche seit Jahren prima mit #ddg und in nur immer selteneren Fällen hänge ich der Suche noch ein !g an, damit die Anfrage an Google weitergeleitet wird.
#DuckDuckGo ist mal wieder großartig. Ich suche eine Webseite. Die erste Seite mit Suchergebnissen bezieht sich auf besagte Webseite und erst auf der zweiten Seite finde ich den Link.
Ich weiß nicht warum ich weiterhin #ddg eine Chance gebe. Die Suchergebnisse sind einfach nur suboptimal.

I'm not going to lie...
The #DuckDuckGo #AI assistant is actually fire.
You ask any other chatbot about political stuff and they'll go "LALALALALALA!!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!
You ask #DDG though? "Sure, fam - here you go, along with some news regarding the subject".
That's good #chatbot! *Pat-pat*.

(snac2 acct) I've been using #Qwant search for the last couple of weeks instead of #DDG
Most importantly, it passes the spouse test in respect of getting results she finds useful.
Second to that, it also provides results I find useful.
So, I'm happy.
But, go on #Fediverse, give me the bad news! Tell me what's wrong with it!

So I have a cheap Disney subscription through a Malaysian app called Hotstar. There is a reason it is cheap and a reason that DDG is my fave engine. The larger of the 2 logs is during 1 hour of streaming. #DisneyHotstar #Privacy #DDG #DuckDuckGo
Is there a way to configure DuckDuckGo to NOT show search results from Amazon?
My god web search is so bad.
You put in say "Barbra Wordsworth math program"
You get 15 results about any sort of math, then a few unrelated Barbra Wordsworth (fair enough) then about a dozen results about words and then a mix of random math and words links. |
It's like an annoying guy who won't listen and only hears about 10% of what you say and just keeps insisting on saying the same sort of shit.
