#2> Money and Resources : We have been lucky enough to have fantastic investors, who fund and help us in our journey.
Just as an FYI, this company Cliqz is owned by Hubert Burda Media, a large media conglomerate based in Germany.
That doesn't necessarily inherently mean anything negative, but it's important to understand the potential underlying incentives given their marketing as such a strongly privacy oriented service.

An excerpt from the 1st post of this series: "Why would a team be motivated to build another search engine? Why would Hubert Burda Media finance this over several years (they continued to back us especially in times when things got tough)?" https://0x65.dev/blog/2019-12-01/the-world-needs-cliqz-the-w...

#6They talk about using query logs to optimize their search results:
>Queries performed by people, if associated to a web page, serve as even cleaner summaries than anchor text. This is because all the logic put in place by the search engine, who resolved the query with a list of web pages, and all human understanding and experience that led one to select the best page from the offered result list end up embedded in the association .
This would seem to present a "rich get richer" problem where the oldest links that have the largest click-through tend to float to the top making it difficult for a new result that may be "better" to appear high in the search results. Anyone know how search engines tackle this problem?

Had the same issue with another article from this same site a couple of days ago. Looks like everyone else is able to read it but for some reason not me.
Anyone know what's going on?

#8I don't know how many of you tried the engine, but there are 2 features that instantly took my attention:
1) Trackers Stats. Essentially, you can see how many and what trackers there are on the page you are about to visit. Before visiting it.
2) Page previews (I'm not sure about whether I like that)

Yes, that's an interesting problem to solve. Maybe some A/B testing and showing new results to a percentage of all searches.
