Search engines besides (((DuckDuckGo)))? (technology)
submitted 6.7 years ago by jewd_law
Been using JewJewGo search engine until I found out the owner (((Gabriel Weinberg))) has a sordid history when it comes to privacy, no surprise there. What do you Voats use? I've already switched to Opera and Waterfox. Thanks in advance.

searx.me
It's a search engine that uses other search engines, but you can allow/disallow certain ones like google, wikipedia, etc. and it doesn't track you.
It even lets you download the source code if you wish.

If you have the Opera browser and want to add Searx.me, here's a video showing you how to do that:

Opera is owned by Chinese
48.0%: Beijing Kunlun Tech Co., Ltd. (Zhou Yahui)
27.5%: Qifei International Development Co. Limited (Qihoo 360)
19.5%: Keeneyes Future Holdings Inc (Zhou Yahui)
5.0%: Golden Brick Capital Private Equity Fund I L.P.
Qihoo 360 is known to spy on users
Shit. thanks for the heads up, that's a bummer. If there's anyone who lacks complete ethics it's the chinese.

Yeah that really depressed me when I heard about it. You cant trust Chinese software with all the cases of it reporting back to the CCP

using searx and start page, the page doesn't reload after closing the browser(waterfox).
eg: after restart the page clears and doesn't show what i searched for before on any tabs.
a privacy thing i imagine, but any way to change that?

bummer. i was hoping there was a setting to change cuz i have a few tabs up and sometimes don't look at them for a few restarts.

I really like the bang feature in DDG (!a for Amazon search, !stack for stack overflow, etc) Do you know if there is anything like that for searx.me?
