With no ties, direct AND indirect, that does make Ladybird uncommon, like Pale Moon.

Our own approach to privacy is as radical as it gets in search: "No Tracking, Just Search". As we often say: tracking, not ads, is the fundamental problem. Contextual ads do not need necessarily to have tracking. Though the duopoly of search ad networks makes that a hard road too.

Good luck. Excited to see how Ladybird progresses.
