Similar privacy can be achieved through the combination of a VPN and a privacy-focused browser.

dang was going to give that one a try soon.

“Leta’s primary benefit was that it acted as a privacy proxy for search. Pooling and caching requests on behalf of a great number of users….Similar privacy can be achieved through the combination of a VPN and a privacy-focused browser.”

Basically their browser killed their search engine?

It was never a search engine in the true sense of the word.
It was a proxy to Brave’s and Google’s search engines.

like startpage is a google proxy?

Basically yes.
It’s a pity that it will be gone. It’s always good to have some extra tools in your belt.
