One Swede built Marginalia, an ad-free Google alternative with its own index
thisguyknowsai · x · 2026-09-07
Marginalia Search, built by a solo Swedish developer, fights Google with its own crawler and index — no ads, investors, or loans. It ranks text-heavy, non-commercial pages (personal blogs, old university sites), labels results for affiliate links and JavaScript, offers an "explore" mode of random sites, and is open source under AGPL. Tip: use keyword-style queries, not full questions.
