So, I need to pay 5€ per month? That is A LOT and I hope it will go down soon.

Also anonymity is a big challenge. MetaGer is also paid and they offer a browser extension to anonymously generate tokens somehow, so that your searches are probably not linked to your full payment information.

Is it a lot? I know it's relative and does add up but that's like 2 coffees.

Yeah I tried MetaGer some time ago but didn't hook me in, can't remember why

Yes but I pay that for a VPN that tunnels ALL my traffic, vs a search engine that retrieves a bit of text and a few images for me.

Different workloads, but I also pay my VPN anonymously, unlike such a search engine.

Btw, MetaGer solves the Firefox extension problem "blind signature" also via a separate app, which is a pretty bad solution

Not sure if the Firefox extension works in Ironfox/Firefox Android
