I've been running my own Searx instance for years now and this looks pretty good. Thanks!
Oh cool. Do you limit users? I thought about doing that too but the Searxist Dev says if you don't get others to use it then it will make the user more finger printable?
I guess maybe donating is a better way to go.
You didn't happen to figure out the bookmarks access, did you? I use the native browser on /e/OS. My bookmarks were made there and then are somehow also where Searxist bookmark saves go. I guess Searxist still solves a problem, since browsing with just one default engine was the issue, and if you already have the bookmarks, you can just use your normal browser anyways.
