I have to pay you my respect. I've been watching DDG pretty much since day #1 and against all odds you've managed to both stay the course (which pretty much everybody claimed you would not) and steadily improve on it. It's one of the most impressive projects in this space, which many have tried and eventually gave up on (or compromised their ethics). Thank you.
replyThanks! I really appreciate your comment.
replyThank you! I have no issues with occasional AI responses but nevertheless it's great to have a choice!
replyAre there any other subdomains worth knowing? I was only aware of the Lite version so far.
There is noai, html, and lite (and even lighter variant of html).
replyI had no idea about this subdomain. Had you not shown up to this thread, how would a DDG user have known about this?
replyIf you disable Assist from the inline dialogue, there is a message that comes up about it, but I agree we need to show that in more places, like in the settings screen.
replyMaybe include it in the Assist response window? I know you can disable Assist from the settings icon there, but also including a way to avoid AI entirely where it's most relevant also seems like a reasonable approach.
replyNow, the first few times you interact with Assist, a dialogue automatically appears asking you how much you want it to show.
replyMost people have been trained to just ignore that stuff.
replyHow does one get the combined effects of multiple subdomains? For example, no AI, safe browsing, html, lite, as proposed by others?
replyThat is very cool, thanks!
