If you are ok with some extra latency you can enable our “search via proxy” feature which proxies all queries and hide your IP. Maybe that is what you are looking for?

Hey, I work at Cliqz. As mentioned in another thread; we have an advertising model, but it does not rely on any personal data. We have also experimented with paid products and we would love for it to be a viable option. Unfortunately, exper

Thanks for the feedback, if you find something fishy in the requests then that's like a bug and we will gladly fix it ASAP. Disclaimer: I work at Cliqz.

That is exactly the point of the article, by the way. Cliqz is built in Munich, Europe. And it does not rely on any other US search engine to provide results (contrary to DDG, Qwant and others).

Absolutely love this quote from the article: > Paraphrasing Monty Python: “What has Google ever done for us?”. They have done an awful lot for society, for the web and probably saved it a few times a long time ago. But it is time to also

Great point! We wrote about how we're doing it on whotracks.me a while ago, if anyone is wondering how that could work: https://whotracks.me/blog/private_analytics.html

Once Manifestv3 is rolled-out, Chrome will not support uBlock Origin at all.

Doesn’t DNS server only see the hostname instead of the URL? The approach would allow to only scrap home pages then I guess. Also, what about pages behind login?

Chrome did not introduce any limitation yet and it’s gonna take a while before they do it (they only started showing part of Manifest v3 changes in canary versions). So nothing changes for forks of Chrome for now.

If you have some source about the efficiency advantage, could you please share? I only ever read that hypothetically it could be more efficient but never stumbled upon actual measurements/benchmarks. Also, extension adblockers are alre

by pythux 7y ago
In principle yes. But in practice, we are talking about nanoseconds; and I would very much like to see benchmarks/measurements showing anything that can be perceived by users. Also, this blocking cost is still orders of magnitude lower

by pythux 7y ago
That’s the goal, but they’re not there yet. Quite a few things are missing to match uBlock Origin (Or other popular adblockers).

Would you mind sharing the source and year for these numbers? The only stats I found were not from 2019 and coal was higher than 9.7%.

As far as I know the « regex » crate is used in some places. But interpreting block rules has a lot to do with specific options and behaviors which are pretty tailored to the task and it would not be easy to use off the shelf regex implemen

It’s actually a Rust implementation of https://github.com/cliqz-oss/adblocker . So you can interpret the difference in the chart between Ghostery and Brave as being how much Rust improved performance over Node.js

As said for the other comment, on my 67.0 installed on Ubuntu, from Europe (if that makes any difference), I have no prompt on new profile and the suggestions are enabled by default. Not sure if that changes per region, operating system, or

Version 67.0 on Ubuntu, in Europe (maybe that makes a difference?). And this same preference is set to true for me in about:config.

No, this feature is opt-out. Just checked on a fresh profile and whatever you type in the URL triggers requests like: https://www.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q=quer... for each keystroke.

Hi, due to few factually incorrect posts, Cliqz is often seen as a privacy invasive tool (at least in some circles), on the contrary we care a lot about users' privacy and continuously develop technologies to help users and other deve

Fortunately for our users, the way our technology was communicated by Mozilla is not accurate. Cliqz has never collected the "complete browser history" of any of our users (and it's the last thing we want to do). We have some
