| So, win-win and more traffic for Duck Duck Go? That's how I read it nowadays, as Google search results are in a quality going down trend. |

| I don‘t think that is so simple. Many schools have bought fully into the Google ecosystem, with Google Classroom, Chrombooks, etc. I used to tutor at my local high school, and for some reason traffic to Duck Duck Go was blocked, and I was forced to use Google search when tutoring my students. |

| DDG is trying to be too much like Google now, with the Ai summaries and chat bot. Actual search results are still bad. Seems to be a trend across most engines |

| ▲ | charcircuit 25 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | No student is going to use that over the default. | | |
| ▲ | collinmcnulty 9 minutes ago | parent [-] | | The point is that if a school wants to use DDG but not AI, DDG is going to happily oblige them, not pull this stunt like Google. | | |
| ▲ | verdverm 4 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I turned off all Ai features, then DDG added their search summaries, despite my setting for no ai DDG pulls stunts too I'm moving to API based search options, using multiple, and rendering them as markdown for myself or my agent |
