Thanks

They are sooo weird

Source code will be made available to customers who have been paying for at least 12 months.

This is not open source and not even source available lol

Once your account has been active for at least 12 months, a Source Code link appears in the footer. You can download a ZIP of the current web app under the Business Source License 1.1, which converts to AGPL-3.0 two years after each bundle is built.

That is source available to open source but not actually because it is not yet available. So do they give everyone access to those archives? In theory only customers need access so this could be legal, IF every customer immediately gets access to that old A-GPL code.

You may self-host for personal, non-commercial use. Commercial use and competing products or services are not permitted.

This is not AGPL then lol, you can do what you want but you must publish source code

Please do not publish the archive publicly; this is for transparency, not a community open-source project, and we generally do not accept contributions.

Yeah no, if it was for transparency they would publish it at least to every customer.

You pay for it, how? Is the payment decoupled from searches? With metager it is

That is not open source at all though lol wtf

12 months trust me bro

Easily this

Install their browser extension for blind tokens and anonymous payments

Also works on ironfox (firefox android)

I dont ask if it works but how private it is. Cash is nearly completely private. I go to the usual supermarket and get 200€ cash then I spend it however I want, repeat.

That is a very good mix of privacy and convenience. My bank even has some kind of deal to allow free cash retrieval from supermarkets 5 times a month or something

We can already pay securely with instant bank transfer but nobody does that. WERO is some pseudo independent service that involves phone numbers which is something I would very much prefer not to share.

Does swish work on uncertified Android phones? What nasty things does the app do? Does it work on rooted phones? If the bootloader is unlocked? Does it load code dynamically from memory? Does it debug its own code? Does it use Play Integrity with fallback for no support at all, or does it explicitely not use Play integrity because it is useless garbage? Do they officially allow certain free android builds like GrapheneOS?

Those are other important points.

Sweden also has no cash anymore basically. Anyone know how invasive Swish is?

Nice country, but idk

Innovation won’t come from places that can’t question their businesses because their profits keep the EU running.

What do you mean by that?

Well no, that site didnt load while the normal site loaded fine. So they do something weird that doesnt work on hardened browsers

Wonderful system…

No idea what removepaywall is but that site loads fine and the remove site doesnt

Heating up rivers is not cool though but of course ONE way to do it

Lol interesting find!

Btw, MetaGer solves the Firefox extension problem “blind signature” also via a separate app, which is a pretty bad solution

Not sure if the Firefox extension works in Ironfox/Firefox Android

Weird…

See my other comment below

Ok I am trying to get infos and none available. Qwant doesnt say and there is also no change in the search URL wether I switch to germany or not? Maybe on german language?

Ecosia doesnt offer it to me at all

The resulting search string has the parameter “method=index” 🤔

https://www.ecosia.org/search?method=index&ar=1&q=QUERY

Yes but I pay that for a VPN that tunnels ALL my traffic, vs a search engine that retrieves a bit of text and a few images for me.

Different workloads, but I also pay my VPN anonymously, unlike such a search engine.

I am searching for results of this european search index, and this is really confusing?

• Staan.ai (made for AI?)
• Openwebsearch.eu (not intended for normal users) and OpenWebIndex
• eu-searchperspective.com from ecosia.

Ecosia and Qwant make the “european search perspective”, so do you use that when using Qwant and Ecosia?

So, I need to pay 5€ per month? That is A LOT and I hope it will go down soon.

Also anonymity is a big challenge. MetaGer is also paid and they offer a browser extension to anonymously generate tokens somehow, so that your searches are probably not linked to your full payment information.
