you.com is more private in private mode, has more developer features including code snippets and AI code completion, and fights bias by letting you choose your preferred sources. It also has a TikTok app - which you can up or down vote.

We hear a lot of DDG users liking the better results and apps on https://you.com

We learned many of these lessons at https://you.com/code : * we also needed to build a strong "everything else" search engine and then * have great results for coding with specific search apps like StackOverlfow, A

At you.com we think it's important you can choose your news sources so our news section and apps let you that via you.com/apps eg https://you.com/search?q=news&fromExtension=true

you.com let's you select that preference once in their app store and then reddit (or other sites) show up anytime they're relevant: you.com/apps

That won't work for any up and coming search engine. They're not allowing you.com or any other smaller search engine that can't afford it.

Thanks for the message. Our private mode proxies all external calls to third party services, including images, videos, and all search results. On top of that all internal telemetry is turned off, first party cookies are ignored (we never ha

Agreed! That's what we're doing at you.com but got a lot of crap for not having fixed the business model. Guess you can't make everybody happy.

I guess Google is the backend so that makes sense but how about weather, stocks, short translations, directions, etc?

Hey 0des, Richard here (CEO you.com). Sorry we didn't have everything figured out and set in stone when we were a handful of devs shipping our very first version. Our privacy is still great, that extension has over 20k installs now [1]

https://you.com/search?q=f%20Emacs%20and%20TRAMP%20can%20be%... looks very strong too. github issue is the top results also. would love to hear what you think. we're focused especially on developers.

Yea. This is why we made our private search completely open on you.com and track absolutely nothing in that mode, not even bugs/warnings/etc.

Thanks for the feedback. We should simplify the mobile FAQ layout to make it easier to read. You are right, our current browser+search app supports our search engine. We should allow users to change it. I'll add it to our backlog!

nah, it costs A LOT of money to build an up-to-date index of the web. we're doing it slowly on you.com - one sources/url/app at a time.

I think it's tricky to a have credit card required for a private search engine unless there's a way to use it without the cc. Would love your thoughts on our approach: We (you.com founder here) think there should be two modes: 1.

For mobile iOS, we've have gotten very positive feedback on the you.com iOS app that's both browser and search: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/you-com-search-and-browser/id1... Let me know what you

There are other choices with the best of both worlds like you.com Especially good for developers via code.you.com (founder here)

how does it compare to you.com? - which will stay free and has a lot of developer features. (you.com founder here - not getting access to kagi ;)

Thanks. Very helpful! We will work on the reflow issues and visual app ranking, etc. Yea, the mona lisa example shows the complexity of ranking. All other search engines (outside Google and Bing) just take ranking from those two. We're

So happy to hear. Yes. I agree with you. The current design needs to be improved. Next week we're releasing a big update to make the right side more aligned more often. Yes, I think the yelp app will get some of those updates... We&#x2

Thanks. Yes, he's been an inspiration. Do you have some examples of the language groups on Slack you're thinking about? If you give us the queries you've tried, we will work on improving them also. We did crawl all of github

Thanks. You're right, we gotta improve the tokenization and work better with special characters. Hoping to ship that end of next week.

Hi, Thanks for posting. Richard here from you.com. One piece of feedback we're working on right now is better tokenization. We’d love your feedback for a few use cases that we have in mind so far, here are example queries: * searching
