Been using SearXNG for about a year now, and I just can’t deal with instances constantly getting blocked by search engines anymore. So I’d like to find something a bit more reliable. I’ve read that DuckDuckGo has had some controversies in the past, and I wouldn’t touch Brave with a 39 and a half foot pole.

    DDG does not index .onion websites, is it censorship?

    And downranking search engine optimized Covid and Russia desinformation is part of being a useful search engine. If you search for “Ukraine” and the first 20 results are obviously Kremlin propaganda, your search engine is trash and nobody will use it because the results are unreliable at best.

    The tracker issue had and has nothing to do with the search engine, just with the app. Yes that wasn’t a good thing but rather insignificant.
