I see that makes sense. So what does making it public/blending traffic do?

I’m still trying to understand searxng, does it start with nothing and build up its index each time you search? Will your results be rubbish for a while?

Yeah I hate that. Now all results have to be opened in new tabs just in case.

I did the same thing recently, in what ways do you feel safer/more protected? Apart from my search results looking a bit different it feels kinda the same.

Damn I’d forgotten all about the great suspender!
