I’ve been trying to find a good privacy respecting browser, but I can’t really decide on what to use. I don’t like the search results with Brave Search. DuckDuckGo shares my information with Microsoft and SearchXNG shows me NSFW images even with strict search on. I really like Presearch, but I’m not really sure what they’re about.

EDIT: After tinkering with the settings of my SearXNG instance, it seems to have reduced the amount of NSFW images. I think I will stick with SearXNG for now.

    How can you make SearXNG work without problems? I’ve tried only one instance (not enough time) but searching for the game “Borderlands 2” (so nothing unknown) it randomly gives me

    Sorry!

    No results were found. You can try to:

    • Refresh the page.
    • Search for another query or select another category (above).
    • Change the search engine used in the preferences: /preferences
    • Switch to another instance: https://searx.space/

    Default settings

    Changing go something else and back to “General” sometimes it work

        Then go into your preferences and change that. The settings you want are saved to a cookie on your device, so you can change the settings even if it’s not your instance.

        Deselect any Chinese search engines and save.

        It was doing that for me so often that it became unusable for me.
