I just recently got duckduckgo, what's the difference between noai.duckduckgo.com and just default duckduckgo but with all the ai settings turned off? why is it a thing? does the website have special stuff i do not know about? because i thought you would use noai.duckduckgo.com manually every single time you want to do something and not use ai, wouldn't that be kinda unconvenient? instead of turning the settings off to never? Sorry if this is a stupid question i'm confused about its function

I remember that adding &udm=14 to a google search used an old algorithm so results were relevent to what you searched for. But, I didn't use it because it only worked on google.

Trying now, I think that doesn't do anything with duckduckgo, is that right?

Just switched to duckduckgo. When I search “topic + Reddit”, the first 1-3 results are Reddit and the rest are just the same bs articles Google provides.

why is it like this? I’m asking for Reddit threads about the topic im searching. I want it to work like Google, where most of the results are Reddit links. After all, my search does specify “Reddit”, don’t need a screen rant or windowscentral article. any fixes?

I am writing a story, and suck at english grammar so I use ai for correction, I wonder if it stores information that I'm giving?

I recently started switching from SimpleLogin to DuckDuckGo Email Protection.

When I was using SimpleLogin, all my accounts (around 100), apart from Bitwarden, Ente Auth, PayPal and other accounts that simply didn’t allow aliases, were registered under aliases. I’m now can set a separate alias for each account.

And is it actually safe to use aliases for all accounts?

Such as Steam (with games), various shops, and so on.DDG is a free service that looks too good in my opinion, and if it goes under, I’ll lose everything. Also I use Proton Mail as my main email providor.

For which accounts do you use DDG Email Protection, and what do you recommend?

When I use Duckduckgo to find something out or look for something the first answer is always Amazon trying to sell me something. Seeing as I stopped using Amazon the day I found out they didn't pay their taxes I want to stop them ever coming up as a result of my searches. How do I do that please?

Like the title says, if I pick up my phone when I’m watching a YouTube video in DDG video player, and the orientation decides to change the video starts over which is very irritating.
Is there a way to stop this from happening? Thanks!

This is something I've noticed in the last hour, and it's been inconsistent, but safe search seems to stick to "strict" only; even when I try changing it to moderate or turning it off, it reloads back to "strict". I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen today.

I just installed the DDG Browser for Windows, and imported all of my bookmarks from FireFox and Chrome.

First off, the FireFox bookmarks were imported 3 times. Why?

Secondly, NONE of the bookmarks that I depend on in FireFox are visible in DDGB. Why?

If this is supposed to be simple and easy, it fails right from the start.

Is there any way to change the default search engine in the DuckDuckGo browser's iOS app?

Since 2014 our site has been providing DDG users with relevant information. We utilize Bing's Webmaster Tools and follow their guidelines to a T. Unfortunately, we noticed that today our DDG traffic has disappeared. Our site does not appear to be fully deindexed, but it is definitely not easy to find anymore. I believe that DDG may be filtering our site from appearing on their search results, which is very disappointing. Is there any way that I can verify our website with DDG and ask them to lift any sort of filter they have recently placed on our site? Thanks for your help.
