Preferably one that doesn’t censor search results. Like DuckDuckGo, apparently

Kagi. But I use Whoogle public instance and pretty happy with it 🙂
I might start using Whoogle too, since Kagi is paid :)
If there were no problems with payment from Russia, then I would gladly pay for kagi. but unfortunately there is no such possibility due to sanctions 🙁
Can you get ahold of crypto? They take bitcoin and i pay for it using monero via trocador.app
Large commissions when replenishing a wallet/transfers, and Kagi itself is quite expensive for me to afford it)
Ah. They do have a $5 plan if you werent aware. But large commissions i can understand would be a problem
300 searches per month? phthhthtpttpphppt, pre one day, maybe would be ok :)
I am still on my 100 search free trial and its been over a month. Apparently i only average like 2-2.2 searches per day.
This was particularly visible on far right subreddits where they began heavily recommending yandex. Because that makes sense. Swapping from a privacy-centric search engine to a literal Russian propaganda conveyor belt? Yeah, sure. No clue how many bit the bait.
I’m fine with DuckDuckGoLite. If I really wanted to have granular control though, I’d spin up my own private searx instance.
Does DuckDuckGoLite display the same search results as DuckDuckGo? if so, I might aswell use regular DuckDuckGo
It does. I just prefer it to regular ddg.
I don’t know if these are the same but I quite like ddg html. I still don’t fully trust them because ‘murica but I haven’t heard of anything from them yet. I will probably switch to selfhosted librex sometime.
DDG HTML is quite similar to Lite, IIRC Lite does have some JS involved as opposed to HTML version, but I could be wrong.
DDG is Microsoft Bing under the hood, so yeah, not ideal. DDG also made some controversial changes when the Russia/Ukraine war started, but at least for me, I just didn’t see any lesser evils in the room that could still get me the results I needed.
I’ve tried Brave Search and it’s impressive what they’ve done, but their monetization model via Crypto is unlikely to pan out and I don’t see them lasting long unless they can find a way to monetize without crypto and ad revenue.
As far as searx is concerned, it just pulls in a bunch of other search engine results and I’m not sure if it just ends up supporting those engines at the end of the day. If anyone else knows more about whether these search platforms are still able to monetize off of searx results, please chime in.
I haven’t heard of librex, but will take a look. Thanks for the lead!
