Searx: Moving Away from DuckDuckGo

YaCy

p2p: there's the Yacy effort. https://yacy.net/ I… couldn't find a portal to try it out (I did years ago, the results need… to be discussed. It's anyways easy to install and to choose what part of the web to crawl.) > YaCy is free software for your own search engine. Maybe they rebranded and don't aspire to be a complete web search engine?

Hyperweb

Yes, Safari is the worst offender when it comes to offering search choice on desktop. On iOS using a new app called Hyperweb you can the new Safari extensions to access and create a longer preferences list. https://hyperweb.app/ We really shouldn't have to choose this or that, but should be able to easily use multiple choices in search. You can do that today as explained here, but you'll need to switch browsers. https://blog.mojeek.com/2021/09/multiple-choice-in-search.html.

Swisscows

I have been trialling Swisscows (https://swisscows.com/) and have found it quite useful. I have not deeply researched their privacy claims, but for now I am just trying to not use Google or mainstream alternatives. Does anyone else have experience or comments on Swisscows' search engine? Seems like an interesting company all round.
