What are your opinions on Yahoo search now?
I think of Yahoo as ‘The search engine that malware sets as default to get paid for referrals or something’.
neither does DuckDuckGo Lite and it’s what I’ve been using since regular DDG kept thinking I wanted a chatbot to eavesdrop on my searches…
I should just host my own SearXNG at this point.
TIL about DDG Lite. Thank you
You can permanently disable the chatbot in full DDG search. Click the little gear.
It does make me wonder what API they use. I thought it was huggingface (which would be less bad), but they don’t say it explicitly.
it’s owned 10% by verizon
Yahoo has been dead since 2015 everywhere but Japan
Is the only reason they don’t have AI because they just don’t have the resources to set up and run their own models and bots?
it’s still just bing search like everything else. but anyway there’s plenty of search engines without ai
