Mangy, searx is everywhere now. It has become quite popular and the searches are very good, it just werks, I'm sure a bright future is ahead for searx :) The couple of new instances added are very good, especially disroot's one

Yes, citizen.cam.de or searx.me are good ones. I use searx pretty much on a regular basis. Duckduckgo at least from the cipher reading I see on my browser shows that those two searx instances i mentioned are superior in security to duckduckgo's ciphers even if duckduckgo is easier to use for the average person and is more flashy. unless there are more layers that I am unaware of... feel free to check.

One can add more search engines in >Preferences>Engine Usually setting a cookie can improve to keep these selected preferences https://searx.laquadrature.net/preferences Duckgo & Searx (Quadrature du net) both provide via Tor searx : http://searchb5a7tmimez.onion/ DuckDuckgo : http://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion/

I have used ecosia but i didn't saw that was free software.

I admit that I am using DDG and startpage, but I hate the fact that they are proprietary. I used Searx for some time, but I found many of the searches to be insufficient. I think I'll give it at try again, though. Are there good tips on how to enhance searches?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Because of Trisquel 7, I have abandoned Google for DuckDuckGo, its default search.
searx for life! this is a nice idea too :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Because of Trisquel 7, I have abandoned Google for DuckDuckGo, its default search.
+1 for Searx. Great tool! (but I like DDG as well :-) )
Re: [Trisquel-users] Because of Trisquel 7, I have abandoned Google for DuckDuckGo, its default search.
Good point, but I still want to make DuckDuckGo my main search engine, because if growth continues at the current rate, at least it will serve as a competitor to Google in the future, which will provide an opportunity for more public interest/funding in personal privacy/open source.

Here's a brief history of the WWW VirtLIb. http://vlib.org/admin/history Introduction The WWW Virtual Library (VL) is the oldest catalogue of the Web. It was started by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of HTML and of the Web itself, in 1991 at CERN in Geneva.

Searx is the way to go

The bigger they grow the closer they will be in semblance and behaviour. I can still remember how Google was an underdog search engine "do no evil" -- just like DDG now.

Unlike Google, it doesn't collect your data, and it is mostly open source. And even better, DuckDuckGo is rapidly growing! https://duckduckgo.com/traffic.html
