DDG has a noAI portal that filters out AI images and doesn’t bother you with summations and things. it’s available at noai.duckduckgo.com and you can add it as a separate search engine to Firefox thusly.

This can also be achieved just by changing DuckDuckGo’s settings using the menu in the top-right corner of the page and can turn off other things including adverts if you want to.
That works as long as you have the cookies for it; it won’t work in private browsing. Using OP’s method works in private browsing, too.
Both are good.
There’s a button “Show Bookmarklet and Settings Data” that saves all the settings to query parameters
Saving this for later. Thank you!
I remember when cruise control first became widespread for cars. Most people didn’t use it or barely used it. Some people, like me, did a lot of testing and figured out the best ways to use it, and ended up using it more than most. But then, there were people who just assumed it would work perfectly like they imagined, and used it as if it was a full-self-driving car, which immediately had bad results.
I think the worst thing about AI is that it lures people into fully trusting it, and they don’t even realize that their cruise control car is heading off-road towards a cliff. AI can be a useful tool if you know what you’re doing, but it is such a bad idea to have it on by default. Even a lot of fairly experienced users are tricked by AI. The average person doesn’t have a chance. It’s irresponsible to expose them to it.
I was going to mention about this whole thing with Winnebago and a driver assuming cruise control was FSD, but turns out that story is completely false. My father told me that story 10 years ago and I never thought to fact check it…
I don’t have a link, but I am sure I saw it on the news in the early or mid 90s. But one thing I have learned recently is that many of the “news” articles about cars are invented stories planted by other car companies.
Like one recent thing you’d have seen is stories about electric cars catching fire. It seemed that every time any electric car caught fire, it was national news, but non-electric cars catch fire frequently, as well.
So anyways, long story… less long, the story I’m remembering might have been fake, as well.
