It provides light and dark versions, supports right-to-left languages, and the screenshots are available for review. The translations are kept updated and users have the opportunity to contribute via Weblate. The preferences page has been refreshed, providing information on the reliability of engines, grouping engines within each tab, and providing a description for each engine. Anonymous metrics are used to ease the bug reporting process and ensure quicker fixes. If users prefer, they can disable the recording of metrics on the server. Administrators have the capability to block and/or replace URLs in the search results.
