  • I hear people frequently say this.

    Searx is basically a proxy. If you had an actual proxy… you would achieve the exact same benefits. Its good for making it difficult… or extremely difficult to tie a person’s real identity, directly to their search query.
    Another thing that searx does is sends your query to google. This is not good for privacy. But sometimes it gives you additional results.

    truth is… only reason i dont have a bigger pc is that i want flexibility to move apt if my landlord raises rent. thats literally the only reason.
    otherwise i would have dual socket, 8 sticks memory, full sized gpu, etc.
    i dont mind not having all that. although, it could be used for something… currently it would be used for nothing.
