Who it's for
- Anyone tired of ads and clickbait at the top of search results. You pay a fee, but there are zero ads.
- Users who want to push annoying sites down. You can manually adjust domain rankings up or down.
- People who hate targeted ads following their search history. Since it does not sell ads, there is no reason to track you.
Drawbacks
- No permanent free tier. You must pay once the 100-search trial ends, and the $5/month plan is capped at 300 searches.
- Korean searches work, but Korean web content is limited. For local Korean info, Naver is better.
- The interface and settings are entirely in English, so it takes some initial effort to learn.
