I currently use Startpage, but i’m wary of their Vanish AI. Or at least tired of seeing ads for it. I use Wiby and Marginalia already, but their indexes aren’t really broad enough for much of what i need.
I figure this is a good place to ask because nobody here is going to recommend anything with an Al overview or other such crap.
Looking at my browser history, what i search for is technical problems with Linux, linguistics, games i play, CAD, fonts, recipes, typography, all sorts of stuff. Hence the desire for a general purpose search engine.
So what do you folks use? Is it just noai.duckduckgo.com for everyone?
the only thing is, it’s easier to fingerprint you if you’re the only one on your instance, so I avoid hosting my own, but it’s nice to have that option
