I wish you luck with SearXNG, I don’t know if I used the wrong instances or what but I didn’t find the results i got that great. However that is the reason people say you should host you own instance. Hopefully it works out I really enjoy the idea of hosting my own instance

I have thought the same thing after about three years or so of using DDG, I’ve been using Qwant as of late and seem to get much better results

I honestly am not sure on the privacy of it but if you really need a useful tool that’s ai driven I tend to trust perplexity.ai for general questions and research but I agree with one of the others just run ollama if you can

I was using bazzite on my Rog ally and it was a great experience, recently swapped it to cachy to try out and its been alright just a little bit harder to set up initially imo. I don’t think I would consider bazzite as my main since it’s fedora based but everyone has their own opinions and experiences. This is in no way hate for bazzite it really is a great os

I may be misunderstanding but why are people saying take down chromium? Please correct me if I’m wrong but chromium is open source and only invested in largely by Google. Chrome is chromium with proprietary code implemented and in no way (as far as I can tell) do they own the chromium project. I quite like chromium just the de-googled version. I think people may be mistaking Chrome and Chromium for being the same or maybe I’m wrong. Maybe someone can explain if I’m missing something

Also I’d love to see the downfall of Google but nothing will change the power they have. The names too recognizable it doesn’t matter if given a choice , Grandma or Grandpa or whoever that doesn’t care about this sort of thing is picking Google because out of the common options they’ll probably only recognize Bing or Google maybe some Yahoo too lol

Edit: I don’t understand why I’m being downvoted , I was asking a question and explaining what I understood about the project but that’s the internet I suppose haha
