      Me too, after SearXNG couldn’t fetch google results anymore, Leta was big help. There were intermittent errors but i t would start working again eventually.

      Sad to see it go away.

            They opened it up to everyone this year. Prior to that it was only available for Mullvad subscribers.

    I recommended Kagi - its primarily focused on a better search experience, but privacy is built into the architecture.

    Text search is great, image search still needs work

      American cloud and privacy is a oxymoron

      Kagi is a bit slower than most of the big players, but that’s made up for, and then some a lot, by actually getting me what I’m looking for. Strong recommend.
