Heard some sketchy stuff about duckduckgo recently, found out about start page.many users?

      Nope. Nor should you, if you’d only use it yourself, since pooling is integral if you don’t want to be profiled.

      There are public instances at Searx.space.

        I take the opposite view - you definitely should host it yourself. Any public instance you don’t directly control can insert any sort of code they want to.

        A cheap VPS, rented using Monero, with SearXNG on it ensures privacy.
