i was looking at lemmy posts and found a post about alternatives to searxng, and one person commented degoog
i tried it and honestly it seems pretty good, but im not sure how privacy-friendly it is, so im just making sure that its privacy friendly enough (i use DDG for reference)
What’s your experience in terms of captchas and lockout? Any issues?
I’m running into these with searxng but I’m not sure if it’s just based on IP/ my server or the software itself.
Depending on the VPN location I use, Degoog landed me in quite a few Honeypots displayed as Gandalf in ascii. Eventually I gave up trying to use the public instances with a VPN and had to fall back to another search engine.
I also host a flaresolver for my *arr stack and degoog has an option to use that aswell. So that works wonderful for me
Thanks! I’ll give that a try :)
