Go Go DUck Maaan.

Even if the backend is bing, they have somehow made it work. It's is a weird bonus for Microsoft.... If they don't try to copy google they can finally get some search market share!

LOL.

Hopefully this will inspire new teams to create indexed based search alternatives that are free and not enshitified, like google used to be in the early 2010s.

Too bad they are not including the script writing, some people pass on the visual but you can tell in 10 seconds or less it was written by AI - or an AI voice that is reading AI written slop.

I would not mind either one if it was quality. But it's NOT this, it's sloppy that!

It is pretty sad that google has embraced enshitification for search results for what more than 10 years of decline now? And then this.

DuckDuckGo is about to surge!

Hey it's no biggie they are exempt from all rules, norms, and principals. Their customers love it even more when rules are broken so this is more like a bonus for them.

barf but it at least opens up the playing field for new startups that want to provide good old index search and try to beat them where they left off when search still worked 8 years ago before they hired the yahoo POS execs that enshitified the service.

They do not care about customers because they are the customer and users are hostages. They only care about hostage count and other shitty metrics.

We need to manipulate the eye socket in a more biologically and socially acceptable plus human comfortable way.
