More people are choosing web browsers and search platforms that focus on privacy. This change is happening after big technology companies added new artificial intelligence (AI) features and changed their search results. Some users say these new designs make it harder to find information quickly.

Some major search engines now use AI to give fast answers with summaries and suggestions. However, many users now want simpler websites that protect their privacy and show traditional search results.

Privacy-focused companies like DuckDuckGo and Brave have gained new users. Experts say this trend may continue if internet users want more control in the future.
