Presearch: Get Paid in Crypto Every Time You Search

Does getting a return just for web-searching sound too good to be true? Well, we’re in the age of blockchain. This is actually a great project to challenge the worrying Google monopoly on search, and the transparency of the whole affair.

I’ve just signed up and am impressed by the concept, the extensive dashboard, features for customization, even the tutorial… There’s been some effort into this project and it incorporates nearly any search provider you want (as you can see: under the search bar in the graphic above).

[Here is the impressive list of providers you can include in your searches.]

Main settings allow you to change colors and search-related options, and you can also enable a crypto-centric homepage.

[Also, it’s a good idea to set your Homepage to Presearch.org in browser settings.]

So what do you actually earn? You earn the PRE cryptocurrency, an Ethereum-based token.

An ecosystem for search

Presearch’s aim is to disrupt Google’s influence as the primary gatekeeper to our web experience (in charge of over 70% of results in fact). That comes with centralised responsibility for blacklisting, controlling advertising and so on.
