      Me too, after SearXNG couldn’t fetch google results anymore, Leta was big help. There were intermittent errors but i t would start working again eventually.

      Sad to see it go away.

    I recommended Kagi - its primarily focused on a better search experience, but privacy is built into the architecture.

    Text search is great, image search still needs work

      American cloud and privacy is a oxymoron
