Yeah, it would be nice if it was easier to test... so that people could assess whether or not they like it. Instead, we get this hostile experience where we're forced to make it the default search engine before we know if we want to use it.
It's also concerning that they're throwing around "privacy" like a buzzword... but aren't sharing how they plan to monetize the platform in the future. That plus the dark patterns will make it a no-go for me.
