DuckDuckGo has released new browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox that allow users to set its "no-AI" search portal as their default experience. This move responds to growing consumer demand for traditional search results, specifically following Google’s recent implementation of AI Overviews. DuckDuckGo reports that traffic to its AI-free search page has seen a sustained increase, with significant growth in web visits and app installations.
