It should be the OTHER way around where AI supporters should be the people looking for an extension with AI features, and the one we've installed years ago should be left as it was without the AI features, but I suppose all these "gAI" supporter's brains are too sloppified to look that up for their convenience if it were the case.

it does the job it says it does. it sets the search engine to duckduckgo without ai. I would add more detail but this is basically all there is to this extension. Just sets the search engine to duckduckgo without ai. it works.

it really is miserable knowing that this makes duckduckgo one of the only search engines that has an opt-in for generative ai rather than an opt-out. this could have (and should have) been made into the default experience for everyone using this search engine.

don't get me wrong, it's great that this is a thing... but this has me worried that duckduckgo won't do more than this to address the problems with an opt-out system.

hopefully, this becomes popular enough that it sends a clear message to duckduckgo and other search engines. i know i don't want to deal with this opt-out nonsense, where it feels like i'm being cuffed to something only to be given the key to free myself whenever i want.

Most sensible search engine company on the planet.

Really glad I can make noai my default search now!!! I do wish there was more it could do to scrub AI generated images from search results, but that's not duckduckgo's problem, the whole internet is poisoned with AI slop now.

About damn time. If there's a 50/50 chance of being incredibly wrong, then I don't want the AI answer! Give me the ACTUAL results. Not some half-hallucinated summary from a LLM.
