This is ridiculous. It’s taken me a long time to switch to DuckDuckGo because when I get comfortable with something, it’s really difficult for me to switch, but if they’re going to totally change it (even if it appears to only be for certain search terms now), this is the last straw.
To make it worse, this is a re-search. The first time I searched the term, it asked me if I wanted an AI definition at the top of the page.
No, I want a fucking Wikipedia link. I realize it’s on the page, but come on.
This is the same search on DuckDuckGo:
Because Google doesn’t want to to leave Google. Putting Wikipedia at the top encouraged people to click away
So Google is now trying to deincentivize using the service they’re providing.
it’s literally a giant link on the right-side knowledge panel. Plus the purpose of a search engine is for you to go to other sites, why wouldn’t it encourage people to click away if they don’t have it
