Been using SearXNG for about a year now, and I just can’t deal with instances constantly getting blocked by search engines anymore. So I’d like to find something a bit more reliable.

Like my parents are split so they dont want to share with each other but the rest of us do. Prefer selfhosted but anything is...

We all know the record of bad practices that Meta has done against user’s privacy. Regardless of that, Instagram still is one of the largest social media in the world.
