For me the dealbreaker was they don't care user requests (they have a platform kagifeedback.org for listenining users, just listening not caring!) and they don't do any real improvements for search quality
here is a good critisizm https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/doubting-your-favorite-web-search-engine/
yeah what if I just want "Search Engine"
For me the specific dealbreaker is the price. Specifically because it's not the price of a artisanal search engine, it's the price of an AI chatbot (both in terms of the dollar value and what they're spending it on).
And now, to read that site's article on javascript and see if I need to rethink whether disabling Wasm and WebGL by default is enough (Edit: That article is just a list of vulnerabilities and a guide on how to disable javascript).
