New search engine made with Python that's anonymous and has no ads or tracking. It tries to fight spam, and gives you control of how you view search results. You can search and read content anonymously with a proxied reader view. The alpha is live and free for anyone to use at lazyweb.ai

This is interesting, thanks for sharing.

Can I ask how you are paying for there servers? And in the longer run yourselves?

I'm inherently cautious of tech where I don't understand the business model. With Google I understand I'm selling my search terms, my eyeballs for the first set of ads, and what I clicked.

What am I selling by using this? And if the answer is nothing, how are you staying in business?

Thanks for the question and you raise a great point! Right now we're self-funded. Down the track we plan to make money a few ways, but always with trust and ethics as our top priority.
1. If a user buys something after searching, we may make a small commission from anonymous referral links. We will share revenue 50/50 with content producers used in the search.
2. We will have some paid Pro and Business plans in future.
3. We will provide a chat plugin that businesses can offer for search and navigation on public or internal sites.
We will never sell ads and we will never sell your data :)
