Right now if you search for “country in Africa that starts with the letter K”:
-
DuckDuckGo will link to an alphabetical list of countries in Africa which includes Kenya.
-
Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.
This is because ChatGPT at some point ingested this popular joke:
“There are no countries in Africa that start with K.” “What about Kenya?” “Kenya suck deez nuts?”
Constantly forgetting I changed all my default search engines to DuckDuckGo.
Went to Google to test this…what a trash website.
Pushed me to download the app.
Pops up a recommendation to download Chrome.
Has clutter on the default search search form.
Looks more like yahoo than the google of yore
What are you browsing in? I use Firefox and never get any of those popups when I use Google.
This is the mobile experience, which makes it all the worse.
It’s popping banners like a shit news site.
I’m using Firefox on Android and am not seeing anything like you’re mentioning.
