Is there a lawsuit?
Well I won’t tell you that!
The duck, Chuck, because it doesn’t suck.
None. I already found all the good websites.

For what search term for example?
I feel like dgg is catching up solely because of enshittification of google
Ddg and Kagi
Brave Search
DDG. I used Searxng selfhosted for a while but it was a bit too slow with its results.
SearX, Whoogle, sometimes Startpage and Brave
Brave Search
Searx
What’s the reason for picking Searx over DDG? Do they offer better privacy? Query customizability?
I suggest searching the topic online I’m not an expert but I guess that searx makes the researches for you and comunicate the answers back … so it’s at least adding a step in between… Also I heard that DDG was taking a less open and clear politic about privacy witch definitely did help me chose to switch to searx
any advice on using searx? I try to find a usable instance on searx.space but it’s always a struggle for me
If you are from Europe I suggest German ones … they work really well for me… generally selecting the ones closest to you may also help … I had an issue because some engines has a really long response time and sometimes by waiting for them the search drops giving you an error I keep google Bing qwant and DDG works out great as everything on these days u have to give up comfort and ease of use for privacy…
Why is it a struggle?
Seconded.
Ever since Snowden I switched to DDG. You start to get used to one search engine vs the other. So after a bit DDG was just superior to me.
Mullvad Leta, although i’m pondering about getting kagi
Yandex
MetaGer for me, run by a non profit and you can choose to pay for search results to be ad-free and get more search options.
