Description
MetaGer.de is a German meta search engine with a focus on privacy and variety of results, run by the non-profit SUMA-EV.
This app is a full browser built around that search: native, fast, and private by default.
• Search your way: switch between web, image, news, science and product search, all in one tap. • Tab groups: keep work, shopping and private browsing apart, each with its own cookies, logins and history — move a tab into another group whenever you like. • Anonymous search: your MetaGer key for ad-free searches is separated from your queries by blind signatures. • Account and top-up without leaving the app: sign in once, or hand your key to another device with a QR code. • Tracker and ad blocking, on from the start. • Set MetaGer as your default browser: links from other apps open here, protected the same way. • Address bar with local history — encrypted on-device, never on a server. • Instant dark, light or system theme. • Open anonymously: view a page in a remote browser without loading it yourself. • No account required, no profile, no advertising IDs.
The source code of this app is free (AGPL-3.0).
Recent changes: Stopped two connections to Google that the built-in browser engine was making on its own: Safe Browsing URL checks and usage reporting are now switched off.

It's a good app using interesting approaches. Search results are opened in your default browser which doesn't have to be Chrome. This way it doesn't interfere with your browser experience at all. You can also open them inside the app anonymously via proxy service. The service is not free but typically costs one token per search which equals one Cent or €0.01. There's no subscription model. If an ad-free, tracking-free experience isn't worth it for you, don't bother.

This is the best search engine I have found. There is less B.S. in the search results and it runs smoothly. There are a variety of options in the settings including an option to use this search engine for free.

Use this search app in conjunction with Mozilla Firefox or Ice Cat Browser. Avoid Google Chrome (better disable it!!, and set mozilla Firefox as default browser). You must also use following add-ons in Mozilla Https Everywhere, unblock origin, privacy badger. While installing there will be an option to make these add-ons work in private mode. Check that and create a shortcut on home for private browsing. In this way whatever you search in Meager app will open in private browsing of mozilla.

This app would be splendid if it only had a dedicated web browser and start page built into it rather than having to use firefox and all the silly add-ons firefox apparently has never figured out how to just put into their gawd-damned app itself. Well, until this great search engine does the aforementioned, users are getting skewed results from Google.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Doesn't even make sense from the start. You telling me I have to buy my searches? It says free but no obvious explanations as to how one uses it. Where exactly does this "key" go? I don't even see a search box except one that doesn't work.
