How to add DuckDuckGo (noai) to Google Chrome and Brave

(Also, see my similar post about doing this for Vivaldi - https://infosec.exchange/@scottwilson/115725021729571844, and for Firefox - https://infosec.exchange/@scottwilson/115725250696632578)

If you prefer an AI-free DuckDuckGo Search experience, you can use noai.duckduckgo.com instead of on duckduckgo.com. Searching on noai.duckduckgo.com works the same as search on duckduckgo.com, except all AI features are turned off and AI-generated images are filtered out of results by default.

NOTE: Truly, for better privacy, consider switching to Firefox, LibreWolf, Vivaldi, Brave, or Tor.

1. In Google Chrome or Brave, go to Settings, then Search Engines.

2. Click "Manage search engines and site search".

3. Scroll down to the "Site search" section, and lick the "Add" button.

4. Give it a meaningful name and nickname, and add "https://noai.duckduckgo.com/search?q=%25s" in the URL field.

5. Click "Add", then scroll up a little to the "Search engines" section. Find your new entry, click the three dots next to it, and select "Default" to make this the default search engine.

6. Exit Settings.

Yep, Cosplay Hegseth wants the entire U.S. military depending on #Google AI, but Google AI still can't even get simple math correct, like the difference between 2 weeks and 3 weeks? Eh?

Stories like this are yet another reason to pull your data from the cloud/ID services provided by #Apple, #Microsoft, #Google. You think you're fine, that it won't happen to you. Until it does.

It's possible to have your own fully synced local "cloud" for files. I have an iPad, Mac, and two computers running GNU/Linux with the same files thanks to Syncthing. All in the background and backed up locally to external drives.

Fully private and secure.

🚨 World's first social media ban begins: Australian & under‑16? Your social media account is now locked. 🚨

What's next? From Dec 27 #AgeVerification checks for search engines like #Google.

BUT - Once your data is in the system, what's stopping it from being used for surveillance?

And what happened to #Privacy? 🧐
