Agreed. The noise in tech circles often gets founders to conflate ten different things into a product that no longer makes sense. “Eu made alternative to Kagi”? Cool, we need European search engines, sign me up. “Privacy is such a priority we’re looking to accept cash by mail”? Okay, you’re never gonna build a serious competitor, never mind.

Yeah Mullvad that accept cash in the post are not a serious VPN provider at all, right.

You seem to not understand that a search engine and a VPN don't have the same audience, and certainly not the same needs for focus.

It's ok, we all have our flaws.

They are very comparable from a privacy standpoint IMO. A search engine and a VPN both get quite a lot of insight in your interests and browsing habits because a lot of browsing sessions start with a search.
