I cannot help but respect any organization that has “here are the conditions that make our product useless” in their FAQ.
It’s an effective way to describe what their proxy does, for sure. It’s just nice to read public-facing text that doesn’t feel sanitized by committee.

It’s also underselling what they are providing.
You get to skip all the AI garbage, all the sponsored links, and the “what other people are asking” sections and just go straight to the search results.
Privacy is the primary selling point, but the clean “old school” google interface is what I’m really excited about. I’ve set my default search in the browser to Leta for now.

Funny you say that, because my only complaint about this search engine is that it’s missing the AI “garbage”. I suppose I could just go directly to Gemini but it was convenient getting a quick answer without having to use two separate websites.

Gemini is wrong quite often. You shouldn’t rely on it to tell you facts.
If I need to double check it, then it’s worthless to me.

Thankfully I don’t rely on it for “facts”, just for a quick summary on something or to get a definition of a word. Something like that.
