minus-squaredaannii@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoYeah you can’t. So you are going to have to use something else. I found that duck duck go allows you to turn AI off. I use it now. On Firefox. I realize it’s a shit post. I’m just commenting a fyi for people who might want an answer.
minus-squareSpace_Cowboy92@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoDuckDuckGo now has their own browser that blows FF out of the water.
minus-squareYaky@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 hours agoOn iOS a few years ago, I prefered it to FF or Safari. However, its “tracker protection” is questionable sometimes. They will list Google or Meta as enabled on site “to prevent breakage”, but do not give user an option to still disable it.
minus-squarejnod4@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 day agoIf its chromium then don’t bother, let’s not forget how Google tried to take over the Internet through chromium browsers
minus-squareSpace_Cowboy92@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoDamn :( I just looked and it is. Back to FF!
minus-squaremoopet@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 day agoI thought the DDG browser was Firefox with some branding and plugins?
minus-squareFluidBeef@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 day agoI wanted to use Ecosia but they won’t let you 100% disable AI, which is fucked for a supposedly green venture for so many reasons.

minus-squareim_fine_sandy@nord.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoI’ve switched to kagi. It’s not free, but it’s absolutely the best IMO. When I search something I don’t see an AI summary. Not sure if I disabled that or not.
minus-squarejh34ghu43gu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoIt only triggers if you end the query with a ? or you can turn that off too in the settings https://kagi.com/settings/ai
minus-squareEntheoNaut@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days ago I use it now. On Firefox. This is how it’s done. I haven’t googled anything in years.
minus-squareDMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoI’m trying to not use Google or YouTube starting this month, at least for this month. (i.e. September 2026) (So far so good. :)
minus-squarea_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoNah, use it on the DDG browser for extra cool.
minus-squaremodus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoSo what verb do we start using then? Duckling? Ask Jeeving? Yandexing?
minus-squarewoelkchen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoGoogling. That’s how you invalidate a trademark.
minus-squareLogi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·17 hours agoThanks. I might just Hoover up your ideas and Xerox them for my Ziploc of tricks. *I’m not American and would never use any of those words.
minus-squareAxolotl@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoJust use “search”; we don’t want to make a company name the new synonym for search otherwise we are stuck with that company when it gets evil
minus-squareMooserider@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoI’m actively still using “google” to turn it into a common verb and make Alphabet lose the rights to the word.
minus-squareMakeshift@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoHonestly just “searched” is probably fine.
minus-squaretomi000@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoYeah. In this day and age noone will think you went to a library to look it up.
