Mullvad Leta
Just a shell around Brave and Google.
Which grows more useless everyday, arguably. I reckon I’ll still stick with Kagi.
While I am a very happy mullvad VPN user this offering doesn’t seem very comparable to say a searxng instance especially a self hosted one.
Love Mullvad and all their work but this one aint it, Im sticking with searxng.
Using Leta with Mullvad VPN might be like putting all your eggs in one basket
From their FAQ
What is the point of Leta?
Leta aims to present a reliable and trustworthy way of searching privately on the internet.
However, Leta is useless as a service if you use the perfect non-logging VPN, a privacy focussed DNS service, a web browser that resists fingerprinting, and correlation attacks from global actors. Leta is also useless if your browser blocks all cookies, tracking pixels and other tracking technologies.
For most people Leta can be useful, as the above conditions cannot ever truly be met by systems that are available today.
If you use their VPN and their browser or any firefox properly configured there is no reason to use Leta.
Not sure why, but my search results have been even worse than with duckduckgo
Needs to have tabs for images, video, etc.
I’m going to try Mullvad Leta as my main search engine for a few weeks to see how it works. Thanks for the suggestion — I had no idea it even existed. BTW, even though I use NordVPN, I love Mullvad VPN for the privacy it offers its users. In a couple of months, when my Nord subscription ends, I’ll switch to Mullvad.
After using the search engine for two weeks, I can say that I didn’t like it at all
How is it so fast?
