Ultraviolet is the default engine and the most reliable. Scramjet is an alternative, but it is still unstable. Tidewave is Tide's own engine and is still experimental.
Tidewave is Tide's own engine and it's experimental. It's newer and less tested than Ultraviolet, so some sites may not work or may behave oddly. If a site breaks, switch back to Ultraviolet.
A new engine applies to new navigations and reloads. Open tabs keep the engine they started with.
Use %s where the search words go.
Alt+H leaves Tide straight away and opens this site in the same browser tab. Back skips over Tide. With "Reopen my tabs" on, your tabs are waiting when you come back.
Tide's server fetches site icons from DuckDuckGo using the site's address.

* Chrome, Edge and most browsers keep these for themselves, so Tide only gets them when it runs as an installed app or in some browsers' fullscreen. Use Tide's own buttons for these, or Alt+number to switch tabs.
Games
Suggest a gamePlay right in Tide. Games load straight from Tide's server, no proxy engine needed. Star the ones you like to keep them at the top.

Bring your own domain
Got a domain? Point it at Tide and it becomes another address for Tide, with its own HTTPS. Handy if the usual address gets blocked, or to share Tide with friends under a name you pick.
This server hasn't set up its address for this yet. Ask whoever runs it.
1. Add a DNS record
Where you manage your domain's DNS (your registrar, or Cloudflare), add this record. Use @ as the name for the whole domain, or a word like games for games.yourdomain.com.
Remove any other A or AAAA records with the same name, so the domain only points here.
2. Add it to your account
A domain only works once it's added to a Tide account. Adding it checks your DNS straight away, then it's approved. DNS changes can take a few minutes to show up, so check again if it isn't pointing here yet.
Your domains
3. Use it
Once it's approved, open https:// and your domain. The first visit takes a few seconds while it gets its certificate. Your account works there too: sign in again on the new address. Settings and history are kept separately for each address.
About Tide
What's running, and whether everything Tide needs is working right now.
Pages not loading on any engine, or Tide acting oddly? Repairing removes Tide's service worker and cached files, then reloads. Your tabs, bookmarks and settings are kept.
