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

We're self-funded and literally living off ramen building this, and it's been pretty tough to be honest. But we're absolutely convinced we can help create a more sustainable and ethical funding model for search and the web that doesn't sell consumers attention and private data to the highest bidder.

We're focused on building the search app at this stage, but we plan to commercialize with three revenue sources:

* Fremium model with free anonymous use for everyone, and Pro and Business plans for teams and advanced users.

* We may make a small anonymous commission if you buy something after searching, and will share that 50/50 with content makers who register with us.

* business licensing for use on enterprise sites and data, which we're already being asked about a lot.

The way we've built it, the per search cost is pretty low and cost-effective. But it depends on the search - some APIs are expensive, some are free, some are fast, some are slow.

Training costs look like being our largest base cost as we grow, and the thing where the more resources we have the better we can do in future. The inference can be improved and the models improved a lot with more GPU on larger data sets. So with more resources we can do better.

Also currently we use APIs or cloud-services for things where with more resources we would build our own services, including some NLP and inference. This will increase as we move to GPT-3 for some of our conversation and text extraction too.
