The original post talks about chrome derivatives so I thought I’ll give links to both.

I mean the extension is published by the Duckduckgo team… Also I can get my friends and family click on that, but no way to make them edit some settings.

Or you can just https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-no-ai-search/

Not OP: I can’t give up gmaps because none of the open source maps I tried allow me to search for business name or a type of business (gas station, grocery store etc). I am sure they would guide me wonderfully but I would need to look up the address first and that’s less than ideal when driving.

I started with Creality K1C and I am generally happy - prints all the fancy filaments like PA6CF with no issues. It’s an enclosed coreXY printer with an extraction fan so I can vent all the fumes through the window. Runs open source firmware that can be modified by user. If I wasn’t limited by space, I would get a K1 Max. It needed some upgrades - most of them you can 3D print.

If I had more money to spend, I would definitely go with Prusa Core - for the ideological reasons mostly.

Depends heavily on the state, but even inspections in the strictest states do not compare to the ones in Europe. Some states have no inspections whatsoever.
