nternetSearch is a different kind of search engine: no crawler, no server index, no list of blue links. The Apple Intelligence model on your device authors the results page itself — glanceable cards, ranked and decisive, with honest confidence on every card. Requires an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later, iOS 26+, Apple Intelligence turned on). DECISIVE, NOT TEN LINKS • One authored page, best answer first — never "here are ten links, good luck" • If one answer would change your results, it asks you first: one question, tappable answers SIX KINDS OF ANSWERS • Instant facts, numbered steps, comparisons with score bars, opinion landscapes, evidence-weighed verdicts, and "what you actually need" • Every card wears its type — scan the page in seconds SEE IT SIX WAYS — THE KALEIDOSCOPE • Open-ended question? Six thinking styles — first principles, inversion, analogy, systems, lateral, black hat — each answers in the same visual grammar, side by side • Pick the most interesting one and the six rooms re-think around it YOURS, PRIVATELY • Works in airplane mode — authoring happens on your device • Photo search reads the photo on-device; the picture never leaves • Your past searches annotate new results — on this device only • No account. No ads. No tracking. No data selling. Ever.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Blank Browser at 5.0 against InternetSearch's 3.4. Blank Browser also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 101 months) and device support (3 vs 1). InternetSearch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (306 vs 2). On price, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
