Pues este mes cierran tanto #MullvadLeta como #Kotatsu. Menuda lástima.
Mullvad por su parte recomienda que se use una buena combinación de VPN y navegador privado para seguir haciendo búsquedas.
Parecería que algunos devs de Kotatsu ya están preparando una app alternativa llamada Doki y mientras tanto mantienen Kotatsu desde un fork llamado Kotatsu-Redo. Pero vosotros no habéis leído nada. 😉

I created a SERPINFO file for uBlacklist for the Mullvad Leta search engine:

You can use it to block unwanted search results in the Mullvad Leta engine by installing the uBlacklist extension :)
Byt sökmotor till en som fungerar utan ai och som inte ägs av ett storföretag som samlar en massa information om dig som de kan sälja till reklamföretag eller vem som helst. För att slippa det bör en person byta till en sökmotor som inte gör det som exempelvis DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Qwant, Ecosia, Mullvad Leta eller nåt annat.
