      Searxng, meta search that correlates results from multiple searche engines of your choice while preventing any tracking, no one can ever take it from you.

        Public instances break all the time. SearXNG isn't reliable.

      archive.net
      there are lots of niche tools that are simply better than israelitegle.
      hell israelitegle owns youtube and israelite tube is even better than google because thumbnails and scrubbing lets you see what content will be like before you evne click something

      I spent the last hour or so scrubbing through videos looking for a teardown of the Anker Prime battery bank because I'm tinkering with the idea of turning my steam deck into a maid computer if I ever upgrade to the OLED. I want to add to the battery life but i'm not really sure how other than to pull out some batteries and stuff them in to the housing.

      >Bing is up.
      Bing spits out an initial search page (enter search terms, enter, get a list of links to choose), many of the links don't respond and Panda. Wikipedia links work, maybe some others. There's a problem.

            All instances can give you the same results if you enable the same engines.

    Privacy is not just an illusion; it’s a delusion. Things like privacy statements and permission to use cookies are little more than sophisticated propaganda. If you think for a moment the Overlords cannot prepare a dossier on you within minutes that would make your mother faint and your father die of shame, you’re living in fantasy land. You have no idea how much data they store on individuals, and not just credit card purchases: tracking data, telephone conversations, text messages, anything you ever posted on the Internet. It’s a devouring machine. Get in their way, and you will find out how much they know about you. It has been this way for a very long time. This is nothing new. And yes, they really can turn on your cell phone camera and microphone at will without lights, so long as the battery is attached. And VPN? I laugh when I think about VPN. There is no cryptographic protocol used on the Internet, that the Overlords who brought all these technologies out in the first place, cannot decipher. None. The only way to live with this level of privacy evasion is to accept the reality of it. Stop thinking you are ever alone. Out in the middle of nowhere with no electronics on you? Maybe

    The search "might" be private, but the sites you visit from that search are not. Most sites have google ads and all that shit running in the background and if you have a user to login like youtube then it's worse.

    Bing shat the bed, and so did every meta search engine that only relied on that. Brave was unaffected as it relies on Google and their own systems. DDG shat the bed because they only use Bing. SearX was unaffected because it uses all crawlers to get the results.
