They don't know yet about you.com? - No spam, no ads, you control the ranker with your source preferences, hardcore private mode that doesn't save anything nor uses your location (even DDG saves your queries and gives location-based results), many developer apps that include what you want - eg code snippets in a StackOverflow app, AI apps like you.com/write that would write essays for you, etc. Also, many folks (outside the hackernews crowd) never change their defaults and Google pays Apple 15B per year, as well as Samsung and many others, to be that default. Disclaimer: I work at you.com

You's been a refreshing break from the Google-sphere - and it gets better and better - The mobile browser is also great!

you.com does not even load in Firefox with beacon.enabled set to false in about:config.

  Hi Ennea, Honest question since this is the first time I hear this issue. What's the use case the changing that setting in your config? From my limited understanding whatever beacon does can also be done in the backend it just makes it a little more complicated for developers?

I like you.com but would like the option to search using google if my search on you.com fails. You.com will default to google if there are literally no results, but it disrupts my flow to paste the search terms into google if I don't like the you.com results.

  If you're on desktop, you can use userscript to integrate Google search into you.com

  there is a simple solution for that. Search for '!g {your_query}' in you.com and boom, you'll be taken to google. They introduced that feature here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScDcj-hX5ns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScDcj-hX5ns
