>saar use privacy search engine
works on mi machine
oh realized that's searx not startpagestill works on my machineYou are using YOUR machine for searxng search, right? Not some instance straight out of NSA HQ right?(i use neither of these shits too much of a hassle to not just continue using google)
>>109339008I was using a trusted server from eu But I’m back on cuckfuckgo now
>>109338901>>109339008I don't see why searx is being shilled on /g/.Instead of sending your queries to one search engine you send it to multiple?Do you like giving away free data?
>bing>bing>bing>>109339145You send search queries stripped of identifying information to multiple search engines, presumably proxied by a server hosting the instance and shared with other people. Or you do like OP and send stripped search queries to just Bing. It's configurable like that.
4get and brave are better

>>109338901I like searxng but it looks like shit, the search output can be tweaked and improved but it's the UI that fucking kills it.
>>109341094anon I thought this the first time I installed it, found a better UI a few months back been using this since https://github.com/Nomadcxx/searxng-RAMAThis dev is a bit of chad too, developed sysc-greet just to piss off rust fags, still calls his main branch master, never fell for the main meme.
>>109338984What is the real point behind Startpage anyway? It's a company which made a search engine frontend, and THEY get to track you instead of Google.
I'm using degoog. The UI is great and it doesn't throw frequent 429 too many requests errors like SearXNG does.https://github.com/degoog-org/degoog

Why self hosted search engines are considered private again?
>>109342953As opposed to directly accessing the search engines?
>>109338901searxng is SHIT, especially if self hosting, it gets your IP blocked from the major search engine over time, plus its a complicated python project
>>109343374forgot pic
>>109342953SearXNG server removes cookies, and as much identifying info as it can (even fake browser info) then sends clean query out to multiple upstream search engines at the same time then compiles and cleans, cuts out ads and sponsored links etc merges everything into a page or two.The ideal way to run these kind of things is via a VPS.. If you are an absolute schizo you can VPN to your searxng service.
