    That’s kind of shitty. I mean at least they have a “no” option, but seems like it should be the default.

    What’s frustrating is that all browsers default to the “Yes AI” version when you pick DDG as the default search engine. So if you have a privacy browser that periodically dumps your cookies, the AI keeps getting turned on.

    This wouldn’t be a problem if DDG just made it fucking opt-in from the start instead of opt-out. Hopefully with the poll they’ll finally make the right choice and fix it

      Yes, you can define your own search engine on firefox though. Just type in the no ai link of ddg and the search parameter.
