I'll have to try out !g, thanks a lot!

EDIT: Tried it and it just redirected to google.com. I was hoping it would have kept me on DDG for privacy and just presented a first page of results or something like that.

EDIT 2: Startpage is great! This will be my go-to when DDG doesn't work out.

Not OP, but its true. There have been times I've searched and tweaked like 7 times. Go to google with my original text and its the first link. This is not common though.

DDG's search is pretty bad

For me, I !g sometimes when I'm searching for specific gifs, and DDG isn't getting me the results I need. For the most part, that's it.

I tried switching to ddg several times over the last decade or so and always gave up because of issues like this, especially with technical or obscure topics. Recently started paying for Kagi and do not have the same issues at all there. The results are good and nicely presented without ads. Of course, on the flip side it’s pretty expensive.

I’m trying to get real, specific examples.

Asking for unnecessary specifics and details is usually a sign not that the person wants to be helpful but that they disagree and are looking for ammunition to argue and feel superior. Ultimately the exchange becomes a waste of everyone's time, as the person inevitably becomes rude, condescending and argumentative. Basically, some people online think they're smarter than everyone else, or at least want to project that. They believe they have the only valid argument and they're going to prove it to the world and probably think that they've won because they had the last word when in reality everyone left because they realized the person was not arguing in good faith. I'm not claiming you're that type of person, but I suspect that's why nobody is giving you specifics.

Wouldn't have mentioned anything but you did ask.

Meh. It's still mainly backed by Google in the end. I'd rather coalesce around mobile Linux. It's not ready yet but that's far preferable.

Now I'm wondering if there are terminal based apps for Lemmy and mastadon.

Mastodon, yes. I've not found one for Lemmy.

That's true.

Anyone in this community that is still using Chrome definitely deserves it, though.

I like to deal with facts and measured responses instead of being instantly reactionary 🤷

Or just lie to you it’s not on, they have zero reason to not run this 24/7 they will not be caught

That might be true, but it sounds like like a completely different feature than what the article is discussing. This is talking about a new feature that requires the user to select a specific section of the page in order to make it visible to the I'm LLM.

I am a little confused though, as to why this new feature would be needed if it could already read the entire screen.

Ah, thanks 👍
