I’ll go first. I’ve used a lot of search engines, I used duckduckgo for quite some time but found their search results kinda bad. I’m currently using ecosia the search results are similar to ddg’s but at least I’m planting trees, so there’s that.

    SearX-NG, coming off DuckDuckGo it wasn’t a major change in the internal structure (the search gets relayed over to a larger search engine), but there’s no one company behind it like DDG. They’ve been working together with Microsoft on some rather sketchy things.

    I would still love to self-host something decent (that doesn’t relay over to a company), but nothing like that exists as far as I know.

        I’ve heard similar things several times, so I’ve been staying away. I should move more of my daily tasks to different self-hosted or non-corporate services.
