   Marc from Cliqz here: it’s something I’m thinking about a lot since years, it’s a very clean model. We even did some tests, but unfortunately the majority of people is not like hacker news. What is a reasonable price point for you per month

   Well there are people who believe this and others who believe that ... as I said - very strong opinions (like yours) on both sides of the aisle even internally. Interesting proposal with the Nigerian Inc. - if we ever launch an email servic

   It’s the one time where I can honestly say: The discussion we’re having within Cliqz about our brand name are even more heated and controversial than here on Hacker News (and Reddit for that matter) ... but then there is this saying: “Every

   Well, we released our beta search for Tor yesterday: search4tor7txuze.onion/ (works obviously only in the Tor browser). That’s as good as it gets regarding making it technically impossible, isn’t it? More complex obviously for a browse

   Hi – thanks for the feedback. I’m Marc (disclaimer, I work at Cliqz). The goal of the collaboration was to jointly build a better, more private search engine. Don’t forget that every major browser today sends every keystroke of the Omnibar

    There were extensive tests with opt-in before (Testpilot), but these are super biased towards techies/enthusiasts (by definition if you read HN or use Testpilot you’re not representative ...). At some point you need to both test and ge

    One doesn't exclude the other. I admire a lot of what Google has done and agree on a very strong execution. This still doesn't change the fact, that a search engine (1) gets better with every query-click pair and hence favors the

    Hi, Marc from Cliqz. This one haunts us (in HN and also in my dreams). Let's first get one thing clear: It was a terrible blog post. Second: The 1% who had Cliqz installed were actually safer than the ones without. Why? If you use a (m

    Hi, Marc from Cliqz (and one of the authors of the linked article): We at Cliqz do try and others (like mojeek in the UK or Seznam in Czech) are trying as well. But yes, it has very high costs. We did a lot of (I find smart) technical short

    Hi, Marc here, I work at Cliqz. We (unfortunately) don’t (at least not a reasonable amount). We have an advertising model, but it does not rely on any personal data. We also always think (and tested) a paid product, which would be the pure
