    Is it… any good? I sometimes use Yandex, but it clearly has a right-wing bent, at least afaik.

      searx given the instance can let you set what search engines you use… it’s also privacy focused

      Yandex seems less manipulated than Google or Bing in my experience (but I’m also not in Russia) as in they don’t hide links so much so you’ll get a wider range of links but that goes for everything…

        Yeah, with Google at least, you have to go to the back of the final page to click the button to stop it from omitting links.

      Magi’s comment covered how I would have responded honestly.

      The only problem with using public Searx instances instead of hosting your own is the downtime

        Downtime isn’t the worst thing. Honestly, when it comes to browsers, I prefer what it can do than whether it’s “fast.”
