I think Firefox’s usage is more, Proton Mail is less, Addy.io is more, DuckDuckGo Email Alias is less, DuckDuckGo search usage is more, Matrix is more (btw Matrix is not app :D), Bitwarden is less, Obsidian is more (unfortunately it’s closed-source), uBO is more, Windscribe is more, AI usage is more
GraphaneOS founder has fetish for Chromium and he hates F-Droid 1
tldr: he accuse f-droid not being secure and citing this bs post https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/ and he promotes accrescent.app
here is some examples:
Open source doesn’t necessarily mean more secure. I’m aware of many open source apps with numerous well-known security vulnerabilities, as well as many closed-source apps that are highly secure. Furthermore, Accrescent will have a filter to, for example, show only open source apps, so your treatment is incomprehensible.
Accrescent doesn’t claim to serve only open-source apps and never has out of the belief that an app’s source model doesn’t inherently make it more or less private or secure. Qlango doesn’t violate any explicit or implicit Accrescent policy by the properties you listed, so it would be inappropriate to remove it.
…In addition, “trackers” are subjective. Accrescent has no plans to enumerate specific libraries or classes and blacklist them solely based on the fact that they connect to Google, Amazon, etc.; collect analytics; or contain proprietary code. This approach isn’t scalable anyway because it is trivial to bypass such detection methods.
So I take everything GraphaneOS says with a grain of salt

With Google and Bing, we failed - not for lack of trying.
Bing: Their terms didn’t work for us from the start. Microsoft’s terms prohibited reordering results or merging them with other sources - restrictions incompatible with Kagi’s approach. In February 2023, they announced price increases of up to 10x on some API tiers. Then in May 2025, they retired the Bing Search APIs entirely, effective August 2025, directing customers toward AI-focused alternatives like Azure AI Agents.
Google: Google does not offer a public search API. The only available path is an ad-syndication bundle with no changes to result presentation - the model Startpage uses.
and “it doesn’t just act as a proxy for other search engines” it exactly does this, Teclis is <1% of the results (you can see yourself https://teclis.com/)
