    Ok maybe I’m too pedantic, but I’ve see this before and it really bothers me how inconsistent information is presented here.
    Granted, the country flags are somewhat self-explanatory and we get a legend for E, S, and O.

    But what do the grey symbols under Searxng and Metager mean? That They are metasearch engines? That info is already communicated by being in the corresponding box.

    What is the dark circles under Quant, Ecosia, and Startpage? I don’t see any section that specifically refers to those three.

    The tie of the differently colored names to the “to note” section is also not immediately clear.

    Am I missing something?

      I agree about the readability. I think the circle under Searxng and Metager is to specify they are aggregators that base their results on those that existing engines would produce. It’s very hard to see, but the other circle you mentioned is a REALLY little EU flag. I think that means hosted/owned by an EU company.
