I think its a good idea. Using Google / Bing makes no sense cause the searx node can simply use startpage/ ixquick for such searches offering a double layer of proxy. +1 for image proxy and CACert with High Grade HTTPS + PFS over nginx. We already include CaCert with our distribution so if it is technologically feasible (space + bandwidth), we could simply setup our own pod and make icecat/ iceweasel default to it : ). -- Icarious GPG Public Key : 0x4428BA28AA2ACCD2 GPG Fingerprint : 6C37 E88E DD0B F042 7A15 676E 4428 BA28 AA2A CCD2 http://www.gnuos.in
