  • Only just started using it, but Mullvad has open the doors to their new search engine.

    https://leta.mullvad.net/

    It pulls results from Google.

    Mullvad Leta uses the Google Search API as a proxy, caching each search. These cached results are shared amongst all users, reducing costs and improving privacy. This service is user-supported and doesn’t rely on ads or data selling.

    Our browser extension simplifies access. Once your account number is set in the settings, there’s no need to log in each time. To protect against correlation attacks and manage costs, searches are cached for 30 days, possibly resulting in slightly outdated results.


  • I hear you. One of those ‘you shouldn’t have to pay for a service like this’ moments.

    In a moment of weakness, I signed up for Incogni. I was getting 3/4 phone calls a day that weren’t leaving messages and it was getting overwhelming.

    I will say, somewhat anecdotally because I’m too busy to crunch the numbers, but it doesn’t seem like the spam email, phone calls and text messages I get have dropped dramatically. My wife too.
