Thanks for responding. Honestly, knowing that there are people behind it who read HN and are humans lends it credibility. Glad to hear there may be a viable competitor to google, and I'll check it out. Mostly because the big g has started demanding re captchas on normal searches from my VPN IP, which is clean and I have owned for years. Some of the marketing I've seen mentioned, "AI-powered anti-tracking technology"; could you please elaborate on what that means?

This is our anti-tracking tech we include in the Cliqz browser and also in the Ghostery Extension. We have another post lined up in the series on this (in a couple of weeks), but it's also been described in our blog posts[1] and our 2016 paper[2].
