I have been using Mullvad for years and never knew this existed.
@KoalaUnknown @cm0002 No way
It’s only been around for half a year
Leta was introduced in 2023.
Fuck… really jeez. I could swear it was announced this spring lol.
They opened it up to everyone this year. Prior to that it was only available for Mullvad subscribers.
Huh kinda sad, been using it for a while in one of my Firefox profiles
Me too, after SearXNG couldn't fetch google results anymore, Leta was big help. There were intermittent errors but i t would start working again eventually.
Sad to see it go away.
I recommended Kagi - its primarily focused on a better search experience, but privacy is built into the architecture.
Text search is great, image search still needs work
American cloud and privacy is a oxymoron
Kagi is a bit slower than most of the big players, but that's made up for, and then
somea lot, by actually getting me what I'm looking for. Strong recommend.Original post: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/shutting-down-our-search-proxy-leta
