    Doesn't have it off by default, and not all browsers let you set a custom search engine to direct to the "No AI" version

    I still use DDG since it's the least bad, but it's still hypocritical for a "private" search engine to default to an AI

    yeah, it's reasonably good, only struggles with more niche searches - when I search for seemingly unrelated topics it often falls back to showing ~5 generic links for one of the topics, then ~5 generic links for the other, but if I search for the same with Google &udm=14, it finds the specific niche overlap I was looking for
