Not so sure about that, are SearXNG immeadiately identifiable as such, if not it just looks like any other search. Also does the evil eye actuaully care about edge cases like self hosted SearXNG? Still, might be nice to rotate the exit node...

ETA I also keep google off for default searches, and use it by bang only when other things fail, a rare occurrence.

It's not doing it because content has changed, perhaps because it's checking. I pulled out no script for the first time in agrs, which fixes it but breaks everything else (reply,vote etc) unsurprisingly. Hopefully v18 will fix it. Do you know this is the right place to raise the issue (the bug makes searching problematic)?

Thankyou for applying soilid thought. What there would you consider actionable ? As in could likely be coded (for free)

Perhaps not, google et.al. will likely grab it all anyway, perhaps we can be forward facing. Actually while they're privacy invading, the benefit of keeping feely given info still stands, and may, in the long term, prevail. One may hope...

Discord, for example, means all useful information is captured by discord, never to be searched by plebs. IRC is usually ephemeral. Most web search has been diluted by SEO and content farms to the point of uselessness. Perhaps we can think about next gen search right now. A point of hope is things like gigabrain which, it would seem, use LLMs to 'cut through the noise', but also summarize and collate, seems like a useful way forward if distributed. Happy to look into it myself, but would like to hear others input. (pleasently ppl were commenting before I finished)

Yes! to PersonOfInterest, mod up @StringPotatoTheory. I did Firefly, you can too, I'll join. If it becomes too much work I'll pass it on, but I'm guessing these will be civil...
