I was just getting interested in Neeva as a paid search engine with some cool AI tools where you're not an advertising target because you pay. This explains the sudden refund from Neeva - they apparently got bought out and are no longer being a search engine. I don't really know what to make of it all.

I suppose it makes my decision between it and Kagi easier - I don't really have a choice. Kagi is a lot more expensive, but I get work to pay for it. Though that does make it harder to potentially recommend to other people I know.

Not that I ever thought paid search would massively take off, but unlike many tasks, search can be centralized enough on a per user basis that something other than ads is worth exploring.

Brave also promotes their own crypto-coin ponzi nonsense.

This kinda pained me as well as its a centralized coin that requires you to verify with a passport to even get access to the earned rewards. Literally the opposite of having a private browser. Still happy with it as browser for mobile though, others dont really compare (Firefox had a bunch of bad design decisions I didnt like).

This and the CEO's shenanigans made me move to startpage, although I've heard that it isn't great for privacy either.
