#TikTok’s #datacollection practices extend beyond its app, even tracking individuals who have never used it: The company’s updated #pixeltracking tool collects more data than before, including sensitive information from #websites. To protect your data, consider using a more private web browser like #DuckDuckGo or #Brave, and install a #trackerblocker extension. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260210-tiktok-is-tracking-you-even-if-you-dont-use-the-app-heres-how-to-stop-it?eicker.media #media #socialmedia

If you are still using #Bing, or any third-party search engines that uses it, like #DuckDuckGo, you better move to #Google, or #StartPage.

Microsoft Bing refuses to acknowledge and fix a serious bug in their system for years. You are getting less and less results if you are using Bing / DuckDuckGo / etc.

We are not talking about spam and questionable sites here, legitimate sites, even the New York Times, are disappearing from Bing results, and this is affecting DuckDuckGo, etc., which relies on Bing.

It's boggling that third-party search platforms, like DuckDuckGo, are not saying anything about it, since it started.

Le #cirque sans #plastique continue avec une nouvelle paire de #poi ou #bolas en corde de chanvre ! 🌱 Inspiré des bolas enflammable en #kevlar dites "monkeyfist", je me suis dit qu'il devait bien y avoir des tutos sur #duckduckgo Images... 🦆 Voilà le résultats 😁 😁 😁

I searched "Hatsune Miku" in the #DuckDuckGo browser app, and it dressed up the little icon as her?!

Any others I should know about? :D

What this means is that Duck Duck Go, alongside basically every search engine that is not google, has completely delisted Neocities.

Which feels like something a lot of y'all should know!

https://blog.neocities.org/blog/2026/01/27/bing-block

Update: DuckDuckGo at least has fixed this issue, likely thanks to some folks making a good kind of ruckus! Still, I hope this has informed people how much of a pain Bing can be with this kind of thing in general.

#Neocities #DuckDuckGo

I'd say the final results to Duck Duck Gos AI poll is pretty much indicative of public opinion. 90% No AI to 10% Yes AI.

DuckDuckGo has a No AI version: https://noai.duckduckgo.com. To set it as your default browser in Firefox:

1. Go to Firefox > Settings > Search > Add Search Engine, and enter: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/search?q=%s
2. Give it a title.
3. Then change your default browser to the new one you created.

It’s not perfect, but it’s so nice not getting AI answers / synopses for every search (and seeing less AI-generated images and web results).

Het spijt me wel maar #Duckduckgo zuigt als zoekmachine. I hoorde gisteren over het gedoe rond de mensen die met de Olympische vlam mogen lopen, en Duckduckgo vindt niets. Geen nieuws. Google daarentegen vindt genoeg. En dat is zeker niet de eerste keer dat Duckduckgo het laat afweten.
