Recently discovered a search engine thanks another social network (Pjuu). Appears as a premium search engine that take cares privacy. Anyone knows it? I’m trying the free version

    I see! Thanks for the clarification. I just checked their prices. Looks like you get X searches for a specific price. Not appealing to me but I bet many people are fine with that. I rather prefer a little bit of ads at the top of my search results (which I could block with an adblocker anytime) but that is just my personal preference.

      If you just block their ads, then how are they funding themselves with the model you propose? Their audience is privacy minded, so much more likely to block ads.

      So they still need a revenue stream, and showing-but-not-showing ads isn’t it.

      I also block all ads, to be clear. But I don’t think they’d be able to make money off ads, for that reason.
