I have found Perplexity to be very useful; if OpenAI can better Perplexity Alphabet has a big problem (at least until the opposition ruin their products by monetising them).
Why post a paywalled article?
The Github link is my top result on Google. Clearly a mix of uBlock and Privacy Badger are more powerful than most appreciate.
Maybe they bought an upgrade from someone who donated to the CONservatives?
Are the batteries easily digested?
