Cons
Con Slow
It is slow. It loads like 5 images in 5 seconds whereas Searx and DuckDuckGo load almost everything in 5 seconds (10MB/s internet).
Con Requiers JavaScript
Without enabled JavaScript you can't even type your search request.
Con Does not allow to limit search result to last year
Max. limit is past month.
Con Not keeping user settings, very unstabile, posible backdoor behaviour
After any browsing session after you exit the app and use a cleaner tool [CCleaner or other] when you start the browser next time, all setting inclusive search engine and security-privacy related is reverted to default... I tested for 2 weeks and don't find any other cause than that is from app internal, is programmed deep in core scripts.
