How private is the Presearch search engine?
(sopuli.xyz)
I've been trying to find a good privacy respecting browser, but I can't really decide on what to use. I don't like the search results with Brave Search. DuckDuckGo shares my information with Microsoft and SearchXNG shows me NSFW images even with strict search on. I really like Presearch, but I'm not really sure what they're about.
EDIT: After tinkering with the settings of my SearXNG instance, it seems to have reduced the amount of NSFW images. I think I will stick with SearXNG for now.
It's probably not that big of a deal, but I just don't want anything to do with Microsoft.
So they only share when you click on an ad. I use an adblocker anyway, so effectively they're not sharing anything. Or do I misunderstand?
I think it’s more of a trust issue.
Exactly. It's sorta like all or nothing. If they share this, go figure what else. And maybe you misunderstood or missed some other parts.
I trust a search engine if I can turn JS off and still get results.
I just use Duckduckgo Lite with Ublock Origin, NoScript, LocalCDN, Libredirect, and Chameleon extensions on hardened Firefox fork.
A self hosted Searxng would also be a good option though.
I like DDG lite a lot, but I need to be able to search for images :c
You can still use lite and then use bangs.
!ddgi myimagesearchwill immediately redirect you to ddg images. Duckduckgo has a plethora of useful quick search shortcuts called Bangs. Even if you don't use lite, bangs are worth looking into imho.Oh cool. I will check it out later =]
You can disable the ads in settings
