I gave it a try in 2017. I could live with it being really slow, but it didn't have any useful results for anything, so I moved on. Really like the idea, though.

Had a similar experience back in 2015 or so; I think that the idea of a decentralized web-scraper actually makes a lot of sense, but it just didn't seem to give me a result that was useful, and actually seemed to give a lot of porn results for perfectly innocuous searches. I ended up going back to DDG.
