seems like a very good alternative to searx and i think more people need to know about it
I have been using random searXNG. I might as well give it a try.
EDIT: This can really work well with something like privoxy!
Wait, why do we care that searx has 3rd party libraries? Is it leaking data about it’s users to them?
This is the first time I heard about self hosted search engines. What is the benefit of using this over something like duck duck go?
AFAIK, it is an aggregator. Meaning: you can pick and choose between search engines (google, bing, …).
If you make your instance public, you make it harder to get profiled, since your search behavior can’t be analyzed as easily.
Last but not least: You don’t have to trust any search engine company.
You control your data.
