DuckDuckGo's traditional take on browsing the web is growing more popular, and now, its "No AI" search engine has been made easier to access to many users worldwide. This search engine has become a favorite for those who do not want the advanced technology filling their results.
The company is making more of its generative AI-free experiences available to more users, with its recent web browser app also getting significant downloads and installations following the recent Google I/O 2026 event.
DuckDuckGo's 'No AI' Search Engine Is Easier to Access
According to a report by CNET, DuckDuckGo has made its No AI search engine easier to access for users, with the company now inviting more people to take advantage of this traditional browsing experience.
Having "no AI" on your searching experience means that you will get results that were crawled by the search engine itself, and you'll be able to avoid AI-generated summaries of the results.
DuckDuckGo promises that switching to its search engine is "private and free," and the same goes for its web browser, which has recently been a popular alternative to the AI-focused experiences over at Google's platform.
Initially, DuckDuckGo saw immense popularity for developing privacy-focused web browsers and search engines, which all focused on disabling trackers and bad actors from accessing your personal information.
Now, it is going against the widespread presence of AI in almost all processes online, especially in web browsing.
How to Use and Access 'No AI' Search Engine
According to DuckDuckGo, getting its No AI search engine is easy, and users may visit it by clicking this link to get started.
On their official website, users will get a powerful search engine that will help them with all of their queries and return crawled search results for them instead of AI-generated write-ups or summaries. In addition, DuckDuckGo also promises privacy and prevents trackers from snooping on them.
The first method centers on adding the No AI search engine as an extension to Firefox or Google Chrome, and this can be easily done by clicking on the "Add our No-AI Search Extension."
However, for users who do not want to visit the website over and over or click on the extension every time, they may set the DuckDuckGo No AI search engine as their default on the Firefox or Google Chrome browser.
How to Make 'No AI' Your Default Search
The second method is the more direct way to access the search engine as users only need to go to this link.
Once on the DuckDuckGo homepage, users only need to click the "Set as Default Search" to change their engine.
With this, typing on the address bar on a blank tab will direct users to crawled and no AI search results without the need to go to the website itself or click on extensions.
