Marginalia Search
A search engine for surprising, content-rich websites without cookie prompts

It focuses on discovering old-school, text-heavy web pages that don't use cookies or demand newsletter signups. The project is privacy-respecting by design, collecting no personal information and retaining only anonymized logs.
An independent crawler indexes small, content-rich websites and serves search results without tracking users or using cookies.
