OneSearch won't store records of what you search, create profiles of your usage or share your search data with advertisers.
I'm not truly buying the claim to "unbiased, unfiltered" results, however. Show us that algorithm.

@val_brigatti Yeah, I'm already thinking of cooling solutions for the dog.
It's January 15 in Stockholm and 8°C (46.4°F) outside. It feels like April.
And I'm struggling to ignore the implications of this as I struggle to find what to wear for biking to work. You know something's off when the temperature-appropriate clothes are packed away somewhere.
Also, I'm biking to work. In January. I know certain people do this every year, but hey, it's me.

Facebook is more like sugar than nicotine, says Andrew Bosworth. “If I want to eat sugar and die an early death that is a valid position. My grandfather took such a stance towards bacon and I admired him for it,” Bosworth writes.

@bit_reader Caught on a website, no escape from reality.
Open your eyes, look up to the T & C.
I’m just a poor sod, I need no sympathy,
Because I’m easy come, easy go, can I buy, bot says no.
Any way the site blows, doesn’t really matter, to me, to me.
