I think there is a market niche which is being overlooked: pay-to-use search engines.<p>Infinity Search (<a href="https://infinitysearch.co" rel="nofollow">https://infinitysearch.co</a>) is something like what I have in mind, but they only charge $5 per month, and search results are noticably less comprehensive than Google.<p>Kind of like how there are various pay-to-use email services which market themselves on their security, I'd like to see a lot more competitors in the paid search engine space. Eg instead of paying $5 per month, let's pay $200 a year for a search engine which consistently returns superior results to Google.

microG

Well I have completely degoogled mine [1], but it comes with problems like reversing banking application as it uses safetynet. Luckily I am quite profound at that.<p>Bottom line, it is doable, but I want a working linux phone, where camera and calls/sms/mms work and I dont use any newage communication software, so I dont care.<p>I hoped Cosmo Communicator[2] would be it but they didn't support the camera and since I am using it for taking notes, it is vital for me. Actually I even went into making degoogled rom for CC but I got stuck at selinux blatantly abused to prevent modifications and maybe some day I will recompile the kernel to kick it out.<p>[1] <a href="https://microg.org/" rel="nofollow">https://microg.org/</a>.

Gotcha, that's completely fair and not something I'd considered. Thanks!<p>As a vague counter point, I use Firefox Focus[0][1] which touts the tracker blocking and ad blocking I'd rely on extensions for normally. It meets my needs as the only additional extensions I use on desktop are for tab and session cookie management, both of which are moot points in a browser without tabs and a "clear cookies after each session" policy.<p>[0] <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.focus&hl=en_GB&gl=US" rel="nofollow">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fo...</a>.

Altstore

You can use AltStore to easily sideload apps to your iPhone without a developer account[0]. You only need to be on the same WiFi network as your computer once every 7 days to "refresh" the sideloaded app.<p>[0] <a href="https://altstore.io/" rel="nofollow">https://altstore.io/</a>.
