They share a few small visual elements, like a top panel and “dock”, but using them are completely different experiences.
MacOS is in reality closer to KDE than Gnome. That being said, almost every Linux desktop environment and Windows are closer to each other than MacOS. MacOS is quirky in comparison to all of them.
I wish they were more clear on this. Is this about existing AI features? Future AI features? AI images?
My only real complaint is that I would prefer it to never show the AI answer by default, I would just like to see the button to get the AI answer. And to be clear, I know I can set DDG to behave that way, but I do a lot of searches in private tabs too.
I actually do find the AI summary helpful. When it comes to basic programming questions, like to remind me of syntax or arguments, it gives a useful answer most of the time.
But I don’t want to see AI images. And I’m hesitant to agree to future AI features because of how aggressively some companies push them in your face.
