Unfortunately, I’m not surprised, given the absurd restrictions on Twitter, Reddit, and so on.
I’ve been using my own instance of Searxng for over three years, ever since Google turned into a marketing tool and stopped being a search engine.
Searxng uses 242 search engines, can be used with Tor, and is currently integrated into systems like Openwebui.
I think this is the way to truly search what’s left of the internet. Just my two cents on an issue that’s crucial to me in the times we’re currently living in.
