A privacy focused search engine without logs or trackers, own index and above all, the special feature to show in the search result the ads, trackers and other crap waiting for us in every listed page.

Is this service paid? If not, how are they making any money? All I can think of is a) selling users data (and lying) b) selling spots in search results, which means they'll be overrun with malicious links or other useless garbage. I don't believe they're just hosting a search engine out of the kindness of their hearts (:
