Have you ?

I've been a ddg user full time for 15+ years and I did see it improve quite lot over time. But quality dropped when Yandex was cut off.

Lately, I've noticed YET AGAIN being trapped in a bubble with results being to clever for their own good ... I did leave Google PRECISELY for the bubble effect ...

Not even mentioned the AI shenanigans with ridiculous results at times. DDG is not immune to enshitification. Way too many managers thinks they know better than the user ... they don't.

Failed to open window: WebGPU context not initialized. Was Platform::run() called?

Not being able to load the component gallery does not inspire great confidence.

Indeed. It was, sadly, more important than popular. Which, to my eyes, comfort the generated content theory.

The solution is simple : https://www.europarl.europa.eu/petitions/en/artcl/I+want+to+...

Because you'll be stonewalled by devs because they can't really changer decisions made bu higher ups.

Edit: I'd sign it, but don't want manage and diffuse it.

And what would a better alternative look like ?

They always were but it's clearly spiraling faster.

Well, I don't how it is these days, but it hasn't always been describable as "Healthy".

It is a deceitful metaphor.
