Standard Lemmy comment completely unrelated to what’s being said but somehow still finding a way to call you a piece of shit for not being pitically or socially progressive enough and therefore a Nazi.
Non standard comment recommending SearX?
Ive heard about it what is it please explain.
Edit: seems it nolonger maintaned but found the searxng fork been running it a while now works great no complaints from me.
More or less SearX is an open source meta-search engine that can be customized and configured to look through a wide array of existing search engines.
Anybody can run a SearX instance, and many do, with different backend configuration, and sometimes a bit of a customized front end.
Https://searx.space has an updated and detailed list of these instances.
Can i just host it on localhost with a daemon cos my server is at home and running at possibly the worse internet speeds in history.
You can. That is how I use it.
Unfortunately startpage has been owned by an ad agency for some years now.
Non-standard reminder that DDG has sold out users in the past.

I use Brave, is this a Lemmy Standard?
No, their CEO is a homophobe. And Brave is lipstick on a Chrome.
Thank you. The more you know.
What you should know is that the CEO, like most CEOs, is not a great guy and their “homophobe” accusation boils down to a single $1k donation >10 years ago.
Also almost no one seems to understand that Chromium-based browsers are not the same thing as Chrome.
Degoogled chrome and chromium are pretty good.
As to brave, I think the crypto stuff turned people off
This… this is news to people?
So to clarify, this is saying that if you’re logged into your Google account in Chrome and you launch an incognito window, your browsing activity will still get associated with your Google account, which will affect your ad recommendations? Is that right?
It’s saying that incognito mode doesn’t prevent people on the web from tracking you, that’s all.
I.e. enabling incognito mode could still have an entity profile you, etc. like your ISP, government, or any corporation that you visit the website for.
This is a nothingburger.
