A one-month first-impression review of Uruky, a paid European search engine positioned as a privacy-focused alternative to Kagi. Uruky is hosted in Europe, uses only European search providers (EUSP, the index behind Ecosia and Qwant), costs €5/month, and requires no personal information to sign up — just an account number. The author switched from Kagi due to concerns about its use of Yandex, its American ownership, and its expanding product scope. While Uruky's interface, pricing, and privacy model are praised, its search result quality currently lags behind even Ecosia. The author plans to revisit in a few months.
