DuckDuckGo has committed a cardinal sin today. I did a regular web search in my browser, and instead of providing search results this popup appeared. Does anyone have any recommendations for alternative search engines (that aren't Google, Yahoo, or Bing)? I would really appreciate something with the !Bang shortcuts DDG has.
A popup blurring the contents of the web page behind it. The popup has a summary and three bubbles showing an icon and extra details: Say hell to DuckDuckGo AI Chat! Anonymous access to popular AI models, including GPT-3.5, Claude 3, and open-source Llama 3 and Mixtral. * Private chats, anonymized by us * No AI training on your conversations * Multiple AI models, all in one place

@brainblasted Hi, this is a legit question not an advice, why don't you use Firefox-like smart keywords?

@brainblasted Yes, with Firefox you can right-click in most search fields and add keywords that will send any request beginning with them in the Firefox bar to the respective search facilities.

I've read a free software blogger saying that he didn't see the point of forwarding all of his requests through a third-party service.

@brainblasted I was assuming you would be using another browser, but I was also wondering if this feature wasn't implemented because it didn't fit to the project's development goals, or due to a lack of resources, or to something else.
