Add Searx as Default Search.

  • Duck Duck Go is Proprietary Closed Source.
  • Searx is 100% Open Source Python Free Gratis Libre.
  • You can get whole Searx engine from Github.
  • For all we know DDG can be selling our data or even be a frontend to MS Bing.

For all we know DDG can be selling our data or even be a frontend to MS Bing.

So could searx. All we know is that searx released some source code, not necessarily the source code in use.

Its all the source code open source, you can even run your own Searx, you cant run your own DDG.

@juancarlospaco The point that @dcousens is making is: whenever we use a web-service we can't be 100% sure what code they are using, what data they are retaining and what they are selling. Further, if we run our own Searx instance, then it will require manual configuration anyway.

inox detects that you're using a search page

and adds search by default
you can browse this list and choice a hidden-service capable instance :P

Would be nice if searx would setup a roundrobin instance to avoid centralization. In any case, I use https://searx.good.one.pl, since it uses DDG through Searx.
