I’m curious about how DuckAI is able to stores chat conversations.

How it is able to store my conversation for over a month?

From the DDG Help Page

Return to past conversations with Duck.ai’s Recent Chats feature, which stores chats locally on your device – not on DuckDuckGo or other remote servers. Recent chats can be deleted individually or with a click of the Fire Button. You can add or remove the Duck.ai button in your DuckDuckGo browser from browser settings, and hide the Duck.ai buttons on the search results page from search settings.

Chats are stored in your browser cache

All the browser settings are also stored there, too. I turned all the AI stuff off, then the next time I booted up my PC the AI was back. Turned it off again. Same thing the next time I logged back on...

I finally looked into it and it was because I had firefox set to clear the cache on shutdown.

Fucking DuckDuckGo having an X account and having their official community on Reddit. They have gone to shit with their crap Ai now. They don’t even have a contract me or email on their website to send complaints. Fuck corporations.

Fucking hate how we can’t have any nice things.

How is a toddler supposed to learn anything if their memory is erased after a month?

What do you expect? Don't use AI..

I guess my question should be how they managed to do this without forcing us to create an account

Device profiling, user identifiers, processor identifiers..

Device profiling

I have spoofed my device id for at least twice and I doubt it have access to my device id

user identifiers

could you explain more?

processor identifiers

Do you have any proof a website could identify specific processor bypassing restrictions set by a private browser?

in this case the cause is cookie

Funny thing is, in the past 4 years or so, I've been using those cookies to my advantage.

As far as Google knows, I've been at the same location for the past 4 years. I have other private devices when I'm out and about that have never signed into Google nor had location services activated.

I walk both sides of the fence, just to confuse the system..
