This is probably a really boring common question, but how can anyone know that a searx instance hasn't simply modified the source code to track / spy and sell the info to the highest bidders? Sure it can claim it "doesn't track" etc. because it doesn't do so out of the box
You are justified in your suspicions, and it is addressed here: https://asciimoo.github.io/searx/user/own-instance.html (alternative: http://archive.ph/diu8b) A quick summary of this link: using a public instance of searx means you must trust the host, even if you don't know specifically who it is. On the other hand, you can host your own private instance of searx, and you will then be in total control of the data you send and receive.
Actually duckduckgo, but the circlejerk will jump my nuts for recommending it. It does use a wee bit of Google, but it mainly utilizes its own search engine. They also say shit like they've done shady crap in the past, but never include a source, so as far as I'm concerned, it's just speculative bullshit and rumors. It's also worked for me and has always been wonderful, I could do side by side comparisons with that and Google and get way better results with DDG that are uncensored.
Basically, there's really no concrete proof behind what they're accuse of doing. If they really did what people said they did, there'd be concrete, undeniable proof, but there just isn't as far as I'm concerned.
Maybe exterminate every Jew regardless of age, affiliation, religion? I think we got something here. See. we are agreeing right off the bat. I like that.
The skies are your limit. We need you to unfortunately bomb England, our brothers. Until they submit to the Führer, you keep attacking and bombing, okay?

Lol everyone recommending Searx when all it does is use Jew owned search engines.
TerrifiedTyphlosion ago
Do you have any other recommendations?

You get to be general of the Luftwaffe. I've already assigned @zyclon_b as head of the Waffen-SS.

Still censors places like /r/Conspiracy, just like Google. Been using Bing for the past month unfortunately.
skywalker7777 ago
It does, because it's a metaesearch engine that gets it's results from various sites such as Google, Bing etc.
shunpikah ago
Bing doesn't censor the subreddit.
