Yet another European search engine that recently popped up that are completely independent of Big Tech. Costs 5 eur / month.

EU servers, EU storage, EU payment processing, EU search providers (Marginalia, Mojeek, EUSP, etc.).

Similar to Xprivo that was posted here awhile back. However, they don’t plan on using AI

There are no plans to implement any AI features, for now. We find it hard to do in a sensible, responsible, and respectful way.

Also:

After 12 months as a paying customer, you get a copy of the source code.

Personally haven’t tried it but something to keep an eye on and be aware that it exists.

On a related note, it’s cool to see these fully european search engines pop up and be quite decent. I’ve been trying Xprivo for a week or so and honestly it does the job. Similar quality to bing IMO. A year or so back all of the search engines that I tried that had an independent index of bing / google were barely usable.

    After 12 months as a paying customer, you get a copy of the source code.

    What??

    You will have to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with a non-compete clause (NCC) to access the source code.

    That’s normal /s
