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.
