What’s the best alternative for ddg? They sold info to Microsoft & that’s a no-go for me. So what’s a good private search engine?

    In that case, SearX also knows your IP address, so it’s the same thing, right? VPNs are proxies.

      The thing is. One of them wants to IMPROVE your privacy one “PROMISES” anonymity. It doesnt make you anonym. It makes you less trackable and less biassed about 1 search engine. It is NOT to grant you anonymity. The one you can host yourself ( and the other you can self host. But its useless for its cause because you have to put in your data in the hoster aka vpn ).

      Searx(ng) is to IMPROVE privacy IMPROVE control but it does NOT make you anonymous, make yourself untrackable.
