@Mojeek @werwolf Just like #DuckDuckGo, #Brave is good at marketing privacy not delivering privacy. You can always count on ppl to confuse the two.
@resist1984
I always had duckduckgo as a good privacy tool.
May I ask for some info regarding the other position, please? I would like to have a well formed opinion
@txusinho @jb @Mojeek @werwolf the best search engine for privacy, for expert users, is Ss: https://sercxi.nnpaefp7pkadbxxkhz2agtbv2a4g5sgo2fbmv3i7czaua354334uqqad.onion/ For novice users, there are a few decent searx instances (metasearch.nl, openworlds.info, search.disroot.org) as well as #mojeek & #gigablast. None of the choices I mentioned feed the tech giants.
@Bmz @txusinho @jb @Mojeek @werwolf Ss is the only search engine in the world that filters out #Cloudflare sites, which is essential to Tor users not using Tor Browser, & important to anyone who values privacy. Someone else told me they couldn't reach it with Tor Browser but I have no idea why. It works for me as long as I'm using a version that supports onion v3.
@Bmz @txusinho @jb @Mojeek @werwolf if you can get it working, another cool feature of Ss is that non-Cloudflare sites that directly block Tor are listed with a strikethrough, so you can avoid them or you can click the favicon to visit an archive mirror of those sites. I hope Mojeek is listening so they can consider introducing the same features.
@resist1984 @Bmz @txusinho @jb @werwolf Not TOR hostile at all, it's likely this was caught through one of the bot-blocking things we have in place, can you give any more information on the search itself? Cheers
@werwolf @Mojeek @jb @txusinho @Bmz There is a clearnet-only link to Ss: https://sercxi.eu.org/ I've not used it, and I've heard someone say that doesn't work either. The only other thing to perhaps try is to add a ".to" to the end (*onion.to is an [insecure] bridge from clearnet to tor). Or maybe try booting a recent Tails Live OS.
