Mullvad's privacy-focused search engine Leta is now free for all users | Leta acts as a proxy for Google and Brave search results

That is some unexpectedly good news. I'm looking forward to see the results of an EU based search index.
-
Maybe that's why they cache results for 30 days?
-
Can you please link to the paid Google API you're talking about? I wasn't aware they had an API for web search.
-
Kagi have their own index too.
-
So SearXNG?
-
So name one...
-
I think it's more like a travel agent and a passenger rail
-
SearXNG
Always wondered how the fuck I'm supposed to say that.
Seeks'nn'jnn?
Sur X N G?
Search engine? -
No. You can raise concerns about a potential vulnerability without having identified a specific real-world method of exploitation.
-
Mojeek (UK-based) is trying. I wasn't super impressed by their index yet, though.
-
If only there were a search index I thought was still good.
-
I just say that as SearchesNG
-
Search'ng?
-
The entire reason I stopped using them was because they agreed to share more user data with Google and Microsoft in return for being allowed to keep using their search results. If they had an independent index without those kinds of tracking for big tech companies, I'd switch back in a heartbeat.
-
I pronounce it like it's spelled, searksng.
-
Probably the last one, I guess it's kinda like nginx
-
This is also what Startpage does.
-
Finding a searxng instance and entering a random search term, the first 10 pages of results all came from google.
Checking the preferences, there were 4 search, and 6 of the other toggles enabled.
Even enabling all engines and rerunning the search, the first 13 results were listed as google
Is it meaningfully different from this offering if all the results it picks seemingly come from Google?
If I disable all but mojeek and qwant, all the results came from mojeek
-
I've never thought about it until now, so thanks for that...
I've said it in my head as "Seer" and then the letters X N G. I didn't even CONSIDER part of it is supposed to sound like "search"...
-
I've been paying for Mullvad for a while and didn't realize this was even a thing until this announcement.
