Should I be worried about this development?

So far, I’ve tried Stract and 4get, and I’m not impressed with how limited they are - they’re not accurate, and no image and video search is what turns me away from them.

Metasearch engines like SearXNG aren’t that impressive, their results have too many filler results. My experience with manually tweaking their search also did not go well. Any alternatives with good defaults?

    DuckDuckGo’s AI is basically a proxy to OpenAI or Anthropic.

    We do not save or store your Prompts or Outputs.

    Additionally, all metadata that contains personal information (for example, your IP address) is obfuscated from underlying model providers (for example, OpenAI, Anthropic).

    If you submit personal information in your Prompts, it may be reproduced in the Outputs, but no one can tell whether it was you personally submitting the Prompts or someone else.

    If you don’t like the sound of that anyway, and it’s totally understandable if so, there are settings to disable it.
