I made https://lite.duckduckgo.com/ my homepage. No AI and super fast loading. AI would be fine if it was opt-in. Shoving it into everything to see what works just makes people hate it. Looking at you MS.

    whoa nice! Thanks!

    For people trying to configure that in mozilla (I am trying to get away from it but for now :/)

    • -> Edit -> Settings -> Search
    • "Search Shortcuts" -> Add (to add a search engine)
    • "Search Engine Name": DuckDuckGo Lite
    • "URL with %s in place of search term": https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=%25s (this has to be =%s, lemmy keeps mutilating that to =%25s everytime I save my post)
    • "Keyword (optional)": @ddgl (or pick whatever you like - it appears @ddg is hardcoded and gets refused)
    • -> Save Engine
    • scroll up to the top, "Default Search Engine"
    • from the dropdown list, select "DuckGuckGo Lite"

    Done.
