As someone who has been driving DDG for the past 6 years, i have switched to Google back due to the new AI mode,, its such a nice quick way to check information and validate ideas.. no friction included.
The well architected frameworks tells you to have separate accounts, your fault that you "tested" in a production environment.

I envy people that stick for a system like this for so long. Because when you master it, it is when you can build a system around it. For this piece, i suggest the author to build his own frontend app, that mimics this system but with a better, clean UI interface. Hell, he can just vibe code it in under a hour these days and at the end leverage the ergonomics of a clean interface, and of course implement integrations that the app will enables, to build systems around it, to become even more productive.
I think you can do that with a smartphone. Just don't install unnecessary apps. The problem is not the device but your will, if you don't want to change you probably won't change.
