DAE feel like DuckDuckGo is now just as good as google for the vast majority of searches?

Not because DDG got better, but just because google got worse.

google is still better for site-specific searches, and google scholar still has minimal AI slop

Well afaik they host their open source models them selves / with a cloud service they have control over so no data going to big bad tech

Yeah, I trust DuckDuckGo. And I like they anonymize my AI queries. I feel like it’s the next best thing to running it locally.

Does their ‘anonymizing queries’ feat mean anything if they don’t disclose how it works or what that even means literally?
