stract has same issue mentioned above where search engines are actually the only time i want data on me to be easily accessible. not being able to search “food near me” is frustrating, and no privacy-centered google alternative i’ve been happy with has had that feature. im fine with my location and other relevant metadata on me getting used in a search, as long as that metadata is in a black box restricted to me that doesn’t create a profile for advertising companies
Promising, but not ready for primetime. I spent the last two days using it as my phone’s default search after you mentioned it, and… well, I went back to Google, at least for now.
Stract.com also looks promising.

I put in the name of my home town and the first 2 links were escort sites offering ladies in that town… Seriously.
Not really impressed so far.
