So I finally watched this video through. Good stuff.

IMHO the most important takeaway is that SearX is an opensource search engine and maybe /u/magnora7 and /u/d3rr can install it on SaidIt.

I'm going to start using SearX more to learn the pros and cons and idiosyncrasies of it.

I like the DuckDuckGo addons for Chrome that work on Brave.

Duckduckgo is a Bing proxy, startpage.com uses google and features anonymous proxy view etc.

DuckDuckGo is not a Bing proxy.

DuckDuckGo uses Bing’s proprietary search algorithm through the use of Bing’s API to show you search results.

Maybe that's why it's so slow and dismal - for image searches.

Startpage is my go to - duckduck gives interesting, but strange results - I use it for research, to randomize the results a bit.

Yes Duckduckgo was (maybe still is) pretty good with academic results (build in wolfram alpha?).

Wouldn't play.

But I like that I can:

  • direct download

  • download torrent

  • magnet torrent

A+ anyways

Still not working in Brave. Dunno why. Maybe trouble shoot tomorrow.
