Hello! Since I'm unable to find a public searxng instance that could work for more than a week and sadly cannot selfhost one, I'm looking for a replacement. I so found Swisscows, that promise to be privacy respecting, but here on lemmy didn't find any opinion on it. Do any of you use it? Why or why not?
I'm also considering Qwant and Mojeek.

I self host Whoogle and it's a really nice interface. However, recently is has started to take longer and longer to load, sometimes giving up and returning a 502 error. If you don't run into that however, it's super nice!

Perhaps there is a problem with the server hoster? Or configuration problems? What I really miss are site icons next to the URL. The search speed drops due to their absence. I hope they add it in the future.
