@leanderlindahl I am Canadian and I use Starpage

@leanderlindahl @Mojeek is European Search (UK) that gives me funky and obscure results
https://mojeek.com

[leanderlindahl@social.folkdata.se]

@forgetpassword yes I know about Mojeek (its existence), but I should read up on it more. It's interesting.

And a bunch of browsers have used startpage as the default when I install them, I'm curious why.

[leanderlindahl@social.folkdata.se]

@Rick_d_card indeed . Maybe it was the default in your browser? What browser do you use? I had Brave preinstalled with startpage on my ZorinOS.

Disclaimer: I don't use Brave. I use Vivaldi, Waterfox and Mullvad.

I use Le Chat Pro from Mistral and Startpage and Mojeek.

I would want to about the Mojeek "story". What makes it unique, what are it's strengths. What is the "business plan"/income stream to finance the operations. And they need a stronger visual identity including logo/icon. Maybe it'll be my next employer? I can do their visual design and coms

There are many nice things about it when giving it a quick look. Also, why do you hear so little about it? How many are they? I need to read up on this.
