Well, that would be an improvement, but all searches will still be linked to 1 account, whereas i can search on other search engines without this privacy issue.

On top of that, privacy laws in the US are... quite bad (even compared to Europe.)

I appreciate your effort, i might reconsider at some point. Thank you for your reply!

We do not log searches or associate them with an account (check our privacy policy). This is because this would only be a liability for us, with no benefit. We are in the business of selling search results, not user data.
