A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Give Whoogle a try. Just choose an instance; or, you can combine it with Farside. This way it will choose the best instance for you.
Can Farside be used for the browser search box or do you mean visit Farside as a one-time thing to find an instance?
I'm not sure I'm following, so I'll answer the question for both of the ways I can interpret that question.
If you mean to use
site:operator in your , I don't think you can.You can use it to choose your instance once, but why not to always use it?
You can use it in the URL bar. Except the domain itself, the rest of the URL is remaining the same.
https://gооglе.соm/search?q=nyan%20cat would become https://farside.link/whoogle/search?q=nyan%20cat.
(You can do https://search.garudalinux.org/search?q=nyan%20cat, but Farside is fantastic.)
Whoa that's awesome! Think this might be a better solution than LibRedirect for me.
I forgot to mention, it gives you Google results without tracking, or any ads.
