Just FYI, at DuckDuckGo we have a search setting to turn ads off: https://duckduckgo.com/settings

We also have a no ai version: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/

I switched to your service something like twelve or thirteen years ago now. I spent the first year or so adding `!g` to everything, but it's been a long time since I've felt the need to bother with that. Thanks for doing what you do.

I hadn’t looked at the settings page in ages. Some interesting stuff in there. You can even block certain websites now (goodbye, Pinterest). It’s time I give DuckDuckGo another go.

As I fiddle with the options, I was about to suggest there should be a private way to share settings to another device so I don’t have to redo everything on my phone, then I looked at the right side of the page and saw you already provide that!

Overall great work, major thumbs up. Looking forward to trying some searches with you again.

I do think I may have found a bug. Blocked sites aren’t being set across devices, neither by using the cloud save nor the bookmarklet.
