Shameless plug, I run Okeano which intends to spend 80% of profits to clean up the ocean by purchasing river interceptors from the Ocean Cleanup Project.

We support domain blocklist natively and are (very) privacy friendly: https://okeano.com/privacy

View on HN

Is there some kind of search phrase where you would say, that your search engine returns better results than the competition?

If you add Pinterest to your blocklist [1], does that count as better results? That said, we have our own index of websites posted on HN and other interesting communities. It will add filters like size and "privacy rank". Unfortunately it's not possible to experiment with it in production yet.

I like the idea :-)

Could even become something like an interactive search experience e.g. having a button 'remove all search results from this domain' or 'add domain to blocklist'.

That is a great feature!

This looks really interesting. Bookmarked it. Thanks for your work.

But is there any way of verifying if what you're saying is true?

Thank you.

When we can afford it -- we will definitely run multiple independent audits to verify our privacy claims. At the moment there isn't any simple way to do it. You'll have to take my word for it.

We are currently not making money, but when we do we'll be very transparent about it including (if we reach that point), about interceptor purchases.

Feel free to send me any feedback/suggestions/comments to david at okeano.com if you find any quirks. Appreciate it :)

/reports gave me a 404 (or at least, "can't find what you are looking for" page) on icecatmobile (debranded firefox).

Hi. We are not making money yet so no reports to show -- but I agree a 404 is a terrible way to explain that. Will fix, thanks.

...Is it supposed to be empty?

Hi, good catch. I have answered this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25724252
