      I tried searx for a while but, at least with the instance I used, the results were awful quality and there were a lot of reliability issues. Do you have an instance recommendation?

        I don’t have any instance recommendations as I use a variety of instances categorized as vanilla

        In the HTML input field:

        • search V for Vanilla instance: all static files comes from the SearXNG git repository.

        Afterwards I go into the settings of the chosen instance and make personalized customizations. Once you’re done you can save your modifications by copying the:

        Search URL of the currently saved preferences

        • which is under the COOKIES Tab

        By pasting that link into your Add Search Engine section of your browser of choice, you’ll be able to directly search using SearXNG!


        Hope this helps improve your searching!🤗

    Been paying for Kagi for a few months and really like it.

    Desktop browser, I bounce around and am never happy. I want to get back on Firefox, and thought I would when the latest version came out and finally added native vertical tab support, but turns out it still doesn’t have tab grouping/workspaces (saw that it’s in development but haven’t seen a timeline) so I’ve gone back to Vivaldi for now.

    I use Floorp and Startpage. I don’t trust DDG after the whole Microsoft debacle. Though, I’m not really that hot on Startpage since they use the same deceptive advertising practices as Google and Bing (disguising ads as results).

      Do it! Easily the best search engine I’ve ever used. I do recommend going through all the settings beforehand, though.
