DuckDuckGo

NEW: ✨Access popular AI chatbots privately with DuckDuckGo AI Chat. We currently support Open AI's GPT 3.5 Turbo, Anthropic's Claude 3 Haiku, and two open-source models (Meta Llama 3 and Mistral's Mixtral 8x7B), with more to come. It's separate from Private Search, free to use, and can easily be switched off. Give it a try: duckduckgo.com/chat 🦆 Just like searches on DuckDuckGo, all chats are anonymous and can't be traced back to you. Find out more: spreadprivacy.com/ai-chat

"Hello [to] a world where Google isn’t a verb anymore, as a result of all its many self-inflicted errors," says Andy Meek. "...Gen Z is the first digitally native generation, a generation that was also the focus of a new Bernstein Research study published in recent days. And that generation’s 'de-verbing' of Google matters, because for them? It’s a reflection of the fact that Google is simply no longer the useful one-stop-shop for information that it was in the good old day."

"Data breaches are a seemingly endless scourge with no simple answer, but the breach in recent months of the background-check service National Public Data illustrates just how dangerous and intractable they have become," warns Lily Hay Newman.
