A better search engine is out there, it’s just not free.
I love it. Been an early adopter and uses it all day long, and it just works. Being able to rank sites and getting search results that never show up on Google is worth every dollar. It feels like you actually see the entire web with this search engine again.
SaaS is almost as big of an issue as the tech monopolies that sell them, imo. I'd be more interested if it was a one time purchase.
Checked the link. I literally can't buy it as a European
Because credit cards are a scam I refuse to partake in, and they seem to only accept American bank transfers
y’all don’t have debit cards in europe?
Not the visa or MasterCard kinds that you can give to sites like this. It happens rather often that I want to throw money at the internet, but simply can't. Other examples are Wolfram alpha and chatgpt plus
They also accept cryptocurrency via OpenNode.

Oh, PayPal works. Thanks
No problem! Hope you enjoy! :)
Oh like neeva. Might give it a look. Right now i use brave search
I am on my trial period and am going to sign up when its over.
I’ve seen this mentioned so much, I’m gonna have to check it out.
Subjectively, it might be better for you. Sure.
It's objectively better, functionally, than Google. Results tend to be better, more accurate, less ad-riddled, and you're able to manually boost or block links to improve your own results.
