My searx instance is down for a while, and I was forced to use and try all the search engines, all of them are really bad

You can set this as your default search engine and every use it will redirect you to a random searx instance

          You can add the one from the post, and it works really well, at least for me

          Note: you add the link as a search engine, and it will give you a random instance every time

              Yeah, this is a pain for me too actually

              There’s the no-js version, but it doesn’t seem to be automatic, and also there’s a tor only version
