I personally use Metager. Open source, and funded by a nonprofit. Its also carbon neutral which is really nice.
thanks. now I’m using it too.
You’re right, it’s a very interesting search engine and it complied on its promise to be good for the environment.
I would recommend you using the English version because the Spanish one has not the translations finished.
Other idea would be helping to translate it.
They own a GitLab instance.

How can I help with the translation?
Is going to be very difficult. Despite being an open source project, they are very closed to collaborations.
Okay, ty for the info. I was interested in translating into Basque too :'(
I tried to submit membership form for their Organization and given that is set in Germany, all membership is required to know German just enough to speak/write using it to a native user.
I think that the language are the major limitations here.
it’s beeni have seen it pushing link tracking into their html(non-js) site. that has prompted me to quit. i’m using qwant for the time being although it kinda sucks for things that i research.
i use a searx instance(google) for one of my browsers on mobile.
the best solution is going to have to be to build something custom.And it should be custom, beautiful, and open source.

There’s a certain irony to a page that’s accusing DDG of being “a privacy abuser in disguise” whose site causes this:
I looked at the information they provided, and Gabriel Weinberg really made NamesDB.
I looked at the malformed certificate and said “I’m not stepping past this point”.
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. I’ve written code that is still used by SWIFT to this day. Does that make me a banker apologist? (Also which of approximately 10,000 projects named NamesDB?)
The certificate isn’t “malformed” it’s just not signed by one of the holy approved certificate authorities.
Allow me to rephrase.
I looked at the dodgy certificate and said “I’m not stepping past this point”.
You certainly didn’t miss anything, but the certificate isn’t any more dodgy than that of any other site.
Self-signed certificates are too silly to bother with. Might as well go straight http if you’re going to go self-signed.
A CA-signed cert reduces the chance of a bad actor between me and the target site. A self-signed cert opens the door to trivial MitM attacks.

Because bad actors that can hijack your traffic are unable to get a fake certificate signed?!

How would that be?
Oh no, not techrights. DDG is privacy unfriendly, I’ll give the article that, but the website itself is a cesspool. Don’t take my word for it, just… browse the website for a minute or two. Techrights’ idea of content is cringey memes and inflammatory content, which ranges from sensationalist bullshit to straight-up misinformation.
