i was looking at lemmy posts and found a post about alternatives to searxng, and one person commented degoog
i tried it and honestly it seems pretty good, but im not sure how privacy-friendly it is, so im just making sure that its privacy friendly enough (i use DDG for reference)
You must log in or register to comment.
it’s open source and selfhostable (I do so) so I’d say it’s good
thanks to everyone who replied!!! I’ll keep using degoog 'cause something about is just nice I can’t put my finger on it
Takes some tinkering but I’ve been liking it. Like so many FOSS projects right now there’s some LLM involvement unfortunately, but this dev’s been putting out really solid projects even before all this stuff came about.
Definitely works better than SearXNG, plus the customization and the plugin system are excellent. 4play for google searches didnt work well for me, but the Google CSE engine solved that problem.
