As someone who prefers to search in private tabs, I was wondering why do I need to create an account, until I saw the pricing. It's an interesting conundrum, either you search anonymously with bloat and ads, or have your activity pinned to your account maybe with ads, or guaranteed without ads for $10/month.

As much as it bothers me, I'd prefer to work around the first option.

All searches are logged to your account which is tied to your credit card / kpi.

They promise never ever to share your confidential info, but that promise wouldn't be necessary if they didn't have it in the first place.

I understand they need it for customization and monetization, but search queries are too private to ask for trust.
