Somewhat ironic given that DuckDuckGo has AI on by default. You have to either save the settings on the cloud or manually turn off AI when searching using DuckDuckGo. Still a good privacy search engine though.
You can have it off by default and not use a saved session if you add a custom search to the browser with https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%25s as the URL (or thereabouts, I’m typing from memory). (the %25s is just %s, I don’t know why lemmy is adding that…)

Good to know! But the out of the box version of DuckDuckGo.com does have AI on by default. I think it should be off by default.

Wait, it has a quick blurb on by default but actually interacting with it requires an opt in. That seems like a good balance.
In fact doing a search now (duck is my default) it doesn’t even offer an ai answer unless I click it first.
I wouldn’t call it private as from my experience it uses browser fingerprinting to target users.
