Ecosia, Startpage, Qwant, SearXNG, Brave Search, Mojeek. All AI-free.

All good options. I've recently changed all my devices to Ecosia. I've changed my parents to Firefox by making the desktop icon look like Chrome. Now I need to find an add-on that makes Ecosia look like Googlefor them.
Be warned though, I'm told mentioning Brave gets you shot around here.
-
Yep - Why I put it so far back on the list. I'm also not a huge fan of Brave Search unless through the filter of Mullvad. It's fine, but not my daily driver.
-
I use Brave and couldn't care less what people think. It's the sweet spot for someone like me that just want to see Mozilla burn.

4get is my new favorite

I'm starting to think that the AI hype bubble isn't really meant for consumers. We've mostly killed off jounalism and news, review publications are all either dead or bought and paid for. Ads are all blocked and influencers are managed. Reviews and social commentary are tricky to engineer at scale, unless you have a huge AI farm to generate a ton of fake conversations to steer people to decisions.
Now that the tech is available to everyone, it's an arms race to build a bigger one than your competitors to make it appear as though your 'side' of whatever you're pushing is the more predominant perspective.
Adding AI crap to products is just the cover story to justify the giant costs to have your own private propaganda machine.
-
It's about killing truth and creating a functionally if not literally idealist experience of the world rather by totally obfuscating material reality. That's what all capitalist technology is for.

-
that "udm14" thing it is sold like if it was the last coke in the desert, when actually you can access to that "unshitified google" or "as google look many years ago" with just clicking the "Web" tab
-
Agreed. “Here’s a comic and also use my totally legit web site for your search traffic”
-
Use ublock origin and element zap anything that has any AI shite in it, job done.
-
-
God I hate LLMs so much.
-
Or just use DDG
-
They also have an AI. At least you can toggle it, but still
-
I don't find it nearly as accurate for localized results is the problem. It's sort of generic.
-
That's just Bing wearing a duck hat. MS trackers and ... oh, more AI
-
-
What if we just make one ai talk to another ai ad infinitum ? We could cost them even more than they're already losing.
-
I thought that's what x.com is...?
-
-
I just set up a fresh install of Debian on a machine, and the first thing I did with Firefox was to disable all that AI bullcrap.
-
Also work trying to push copilot and chatgpt because we sell those to customers.
-
If you don't like the ai slop on search use a competitor instead.
-
Same for me. I get what it can do but it is not worth the trade off. I hope the industry crumbles tbh.
-
I don't care what it can do. It's annoying.
-
-
IIt's refuse.FTFY
-
In specialized fields, technology that broadly falls under "artificial intelligence" as in logic programs can be useful. LLMs however are not useful.
-
Thank you so much!!
I don't undersand why people dislike it, I get it there are alternatives to google, still some people will want to use google and this is an awesone alternative. Also not every new website is just a leech meant to get your metadata, there are still humans trying to do cool stuff.
