Presearch
presearch.com
Presearch is a decentralized search engine, powered by the community.

Browsing the web I came across this (meta) search engine. From the first glance, it seems promising and giving quite a good results to my searches. Definitely better than Google, Bing or DDG, which tend to be full of SEO/ads/AI bullshit these days. Does anyone use it?

It somehow implies it’s open source and indeed there is github https://github.com/PresearchOfficial too, but I can’t find any link from the presearch.com itself to it. It’s just… IDK, weird?

    Wow, that trackers bullshit is even worse than I thought.

    After all I’m glad that I asked. Something felt fishy about Presearch from the start and I couldn’t pin point what exactly. Reading through all the terms and technicalities was exhausting, so this thread was nice kind of tldr.

    Thanks everyone.

      Yeah, I would-be been fine if they just added a listing that was actually an ad, but replacing actual results with no option to not click the tracking injected link was enough for me. Ignoring their shitcoin is fine, it’s not required to use their search. But I don’t take kindly to bullshit if it’s forced on me.
