As unfortunate as it is, the only way privacy search engines will survive is by adding AI. Brave recognized this early on and implemented it very well, so I’m glad to see DDG seems to be implementing it well also. Hopefully Startpage catches up because even though I almost exclusively use Brave Search, I do enjoy Startpage as a secondary source.
![[Solved] Now DDG also got AI features. Is it good or bad for Privacy?](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/d9649ece-23e9-48f0-87cc-ff628789d1d2.webp){kind=link}

Honestly I see no use for the ai response in search as it is hard to trust 100% but I do see that it could become a requirement for a search engine
I agree somewhat. I know how to use a search engine, I don’t need AI. The main problem is that, sadly, AI is going to be required to stay competitive.
I will say Brave’s AI is very useful, though.
