As a search/metasearch developer, I can heavily recommend Uruky. It is by far the best third party search alternative in terms of how they approach privacy and transparency. Keep up the good work Bruno! <3

#42I read in your FAQ that you don't support bitcoin payments yet.
Might I suggest you have a look at https://www.lightspark.com/capabilities/embedded-finance ?
They make it easy to be compliant with local laws and integrate payment features.

#43Do you have Privacy Pass or some other type of privacy-preserving credentials functinoality?

#44It's a cool search engine. I agreee that need improve in UI/UX. If UI/UX is great. I will consider to use it.

#45I'd be more than willing to subscribe and support the project BUT, I need to address the elephant in the room: The reason why I'm against Kagi is the fact that they use Yandex(be it only for images according to their own words) and I'm sure as hell refusing to give a single cent to them. So I guess my question is: sources?
What's wrong with Yandex? Is it quality of service being too low? Does the company have tracking records of shady practices, worst than what GAFAM are doing that make customer flee away?

What's wrong with Yandex? I think every possible criticism of Yandex I can think of could just as easily be leveled at Google or Bing.

It's Russian. Indirectly you are supporting Putin when you use it. Those sanctions aren't for no reason.

#48As much as I'd prefer a smaller, non-american operator (for most anything really), I'm extremely hesitant to pay directly for search. For this service, the "just an ID as account" looks nice and private on the surface, but once you look at payment methods, it's 100% personally identifiable. If it's so privacy-focused - where's the payment option for transferring Monero? As for the code - don't get me started. Source…
We're working towards accepting cash by mail in a month or two, and regarding cryptocurrencies, we've been trying to reach out to proxysto.re unsuccessfully for that. If you know of a similar option, we'd love to hear about it!
Privacy Pass would also be a good option. You can use it with Kagi, where you’ll have cryptographic tokens that you can use for searches without them being linked to your account. Even if you use a non-anonymous payment method, you could still use the service without leaving a trace.

#50Interesting. Being EU-based is a huge plus over Kagi in my opinion. I also like that they don't ask any personal data, even email address. I like services that don't want any personal details. Like with Mullvad, where they just give you a random number and that's your account ID However I wonder where they get their search data from. But it's worth investigating.
It should be clear in the FAQ. All Europe-based. Our current search providers:
- Mojeek - EUSP - Marginalia - Linkup - Serper (the only non-EU, being UK and proxying Google) - Uruky Site Search (our own index) - Pixabay (images)
I'd be curious to hear about your Mullvad experience (feel free to email me).
