It’s impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing

    SearXNG is also amazing. The only reason I don’t use it more is because it doesn’t have an integration into the URL bar in Firefox.

      Dude. When you’re looking at whatever search just right click in the url bar and there will be an option to add that search engine. Then in settings you can make it your default if you wish.

      The reason I don’t use SearXNG is because the public instances always seem to be slow and or broken.

      Can’t you add it manually?

        Yes, but you may need to mess with about:config. I just added Jira as a search engine so I can type ticket numbers.

      So, did it never occur to you that you can manually add custom search engine into Firefox?

      Settings>search>manage alternate search engines>add search engine
