Privacy-focused metasearch engines
This cluster consists of metasearch engines that aggregate results from multiple providers while prioritizing user privacy, with features like no tracking, no stored data, and no account requirements. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only one entry predates the index start. On traction, gronnfalk leads with 9 stars, followed by Cut with 1 star and white with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 12 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
