You can tell most people don't read the article before they vote. Ddg just added a way to turn on or off ai results by default.

Well, at least it is nice that it's not forced onto the user. When turned off, anything AI-related also seems to be hidden from the UI which I like. The settings are stored in the local storage so it shouldn't get reset too often (when not using an account).
I've switched to Ecosia from Kagi because they started spending my money on AI instead of making the search engine better, and I stumbled upon an option to something like "Chat with Ecosia AI. You can try asking it how to be energy neutral. Note that by interacting with this chat you agree to the ChatGPT privacy policy"
It's baffling how out of touch that sentence is, lol. "Energy neutral" and "ChatGPT" in one sentence is so bizzare.
I guess I need to wait for Brave to add this subdomain as a search option.
Edit for the down voters: seriously. On the mobile app you can only select from what's listed. There is no way to just edit and save.
