Wow!! I am seriously very impressed with this you.com Two most important points that made me switch from Google to You: 1. Really great search results 2. It has it's own personality. For reference, look at any other Search Engine service (Google, Bing, DDG, Ecosia etc) almost all of them share same user interface ideology but the you.com stands apart with it's perfect approach to Aesthetics + Functionality. So far, so good... really loving it! Have been sharing it with my connections. I hope you.com stays and grows on it's own whilst giving other search engines a good competition and refuse to get acquired by other giants :P

You and also Google are removing the need to open links from search results, thus harming content creators. For example, by embedding Stack Overflow results, Stack Overflow is not showing their job adverts or their paid products adverts (Teams). Embedded results are very convenient as a search user but not so great as a content creator. This is something to think about. Some content creators are starting to be pissed off with Google about it. Particularly since the introduction of snippets. If at some point you monetised the platform with advertising, you could share revenues with content creators for embedded results, which I believe is something Google doesn't do.

@joanfihu Hey. We love good content creators and have been super happy that several users told us they started or re-activated their medium accounts thanks to the content they found on you.com The apps that you see, will actually be given to the respective organization when they want them. We're just starting and seeing the platform but plan to open it up more and more in the coming months. We want to help companies achieve their goals and bring useful actionable content to users but have ownership over their app. We think of the you.com apps more like a company's iphone app. It's their branding, content and monetization (within our values, e.g. they can't add tracking pixels, etc). We think this is the only way users can have the convenience of that first page but the entire rest of the economy can participate and benefit from that better user experience. Instead of everybody having to pay a Google tax just to exist.

Is there a way to set preference for search result clicks to not open in a new tab?
