The search industry continues to undergo big changes. Leta will not be able to follow and will likely become less useful over time.
None of the "Big changes" of late have improved the user experience, absolutely nobody who'd use Leta would complain that it doesn't have AI summaries or whatever other bullshit.
Does this feel like a big cop out to anyone else? How weird...

I can confirm it has no hearts/timer or the usual Freemium Mobile monetization tactics. At most you can watch an ad to revive after death or to get extra coins but it's optional.
It's also on Steam for cheap and that version has zero monetization.
