Yeah you can't. So you are going to have to use something else. I found that duck duck go allows you to turn AI off.

I use it now. On Firefox.

I realize it's a shit post. I'm just commenting a fyi for people who might want an answer.

This is how it’s done.

I haven’t googled anything in years.

So what verb do we start using then? Duckling? Ask Jeeving? Yandexing?

Honestly just "searched" is probably fine.

Yeah. In this day and age noone will think you went to a library to look it up.

Just use "search"; we don't want to make a company name the new synonym for search otherwise we are stuck with that company when it gets evil

Googling. That's how you invalidate a trademark.

Thanks. I might just Hoover up your ideas and Xerox them for my Ziploc of tricks.

Search

Searching.

[–] Mooserider@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

I'm actively still using "google" to turn it into a common verb and make Alphabet lose the rights to the word.

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 5 points 4 weeks ago

I use ddg or ddg’d.

Quaking ?

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Nah, use it on the DDG browser for extra cool.

I'm trying to not use Google or YouTube starting this month, at least for this month. (i.e. September 2026)

(So far so good. :)

I've switched to kagi.

It's not free, but it's absolutely the best IMO.

When I search something I don't see an AI summary. Not sure if I disabled that or not.

It only triggers if you end the query with a ? or you can turn that off too in the settings https://kagi.com/settings/ai

I wanted to use Ecosia but they won’t let you 100% disable AI, which is fucked for a supposedly green venture for so many reasons.

For 8 searches we burn a tree with our AI.

DuckDuckGo now has their own browser that blows FF out of the water.

Edit: Chromium, don’t bother.

If its chromium then don't bother, let's not forget how Google tried to take over the Internet through chromium browsers

I thought the DDG browser was Firefox with some branding and plugins?

parent

[–] Yaky@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 weeks ago

On iOS a few years ago, I prefered it to FF or Safari.

However, its "tracker protection" is questionable sometimes. They will list Google or Meta as enabled on site "to prevent breakage", but do not give user an option to still disable it.
