The best search engine. Great search results and UI/UX.

I like it

Johny Hopkins·13 Sept 2026

Used to be my main browser and I'd use it on all of my devices even with the bad search result quality but recently I keep getting stopped and asked to verify that I'm not a bot. I also hate all the ai features so until all 3 issues are fixed I'm swapping to another browser
