they are pushing their Ai across all their web assets, also their own browser, with popups and notifications
very google-y to me, or valley-y is probably more accurate, par for the course across so many products these days (in your face)

I appreciate that they do this, but their results are still trash. Even been having problems with Kagi lately.

These are still a thing for people who don't like JavaScript, so I'd give them some credit.
And it's not like these don't cost anything to run and maintain. Quite the contrary: bots love to use them, and it screws with their ads-driven business model. And yet they are still keeping these around.
I think that "noai", too, will keep going for a long time.
