      They still have the disclaimer on the app in the pay store. It was added after they were called out.

      The fact that they hid it in the first place is disqualifying for a privacy focused product.

          Yeah, I agree with that. I would never use their browser or other products but their search fits the “at least it’s not google/MS”.

          I even think what the CEO is saying is correct here, Google is doing it’s best kill competition.
