Unlike traditional search engines that provide lists of links, You.com summarizes web results using intuitive categories, without ad-sponsored results. The site has other useful elements—built-in apps, like Twitter search tools, let you complete tasks directly from the search page. Users can toggle to “[private mode](https://about.you.com/privacy-and-data-protection-at-you-com/)” to end all data collection, full stop, going further than both Google and Duck Duck Go. (Investors in [You.com](http://you.com/) include TIME co-chairs and owners Marc and Lynne Benioff.) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2022/6228799/you-com/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2022/6228799/you-com/"},"headline":"Ad-Free Search","datePublished":"2022-11-10T11:12:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:08:52.743Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2022/6228799/you-com/","keywords":["list","franchise","ecommerce","best inventions","Best Inventions 2022"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfad03aff563afcee/698a3762db29875ef5268649/best-inventions-2022-you.com_.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Joe Mullich","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/joe-mullich/"}],"creator":"Joe Mullich","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfad03aff563afcee/698a3762db29875ef5268649/best-inventions-2022-you.com_.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2022/6228799/you-com/","name":"Ad-Free Search"}}]}] ```
