Neeva was faster, simpler, and ad-free. But making something better than Google isn’t enough to beat Google.

    Neeva!

    Jesus Christ, that was the biggest find for me in the last year, and the biggest blow to my online life, when it failed.

    What’s the worst is that it wasn’t the cost of the subscription that ruined it. They simply couldn’t reach enough people to build a required fanbase… Damn…

    Damn, I’d never heard of Neeva. A shame that they closed down, reading this had me wanting to switch.

      Same, would have definitely checked them out. Sounds like they did a really bad job at getting the word out there that they even existed.

      I’ve been using duckduckgo instead of Google for a few years now and love it. I’ve gotten used to the shortcuts in it now and probably couldn’t go back if I wanted to haha
