also i wouldn’t install their extension just for that, you can edit your default search engine to anu address you want in the settings

browser extensions are a huge privacy risk and i wouldn’t trust ddg with my data because of their Microsoft deal, not to block their trackers (they reverted that part after the backlash) in the ddg browser and to only show msn under their news tab in regular ddg

    Yeah, what’s with the auto-opt-in for features that cost them money? I’d think they’d prefer if nobody used the AI search, because they’d get their ad impressions with only server overhead, rather than that plus AI overhead. Clearly I’m wrong, but I can’t figure out why.
