Hedgehog AI offers a unique AI search and chatbot assistant that stands out by working without JavaScript, making it compatible with command-line browsers like w3m, lynx, and elinks. Unlike competitors, this privacy-focused tool operates on a pay-as-you-go pricing model with non-expiring credits that can be used across their product ecosystem. The service prides itself on never training on or selling customer data, running without ads or trackers, and being accessible even on older computers or through Tor’s highest security settings.
