Too many holes. Just kidding. I have no idea what that is. I saw the post scrolling and couldn't resist.

Try one of the Whoogle public instances. Maybe it will be stable experience for you ๐
Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out!
I didnโt like the rate limits on public instances and I am self hosting my own for me and my family. But maybe everything will be fine for you :)
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.
Never used it but come across them. Seem holesome.
I've been using mullvads leta search engine and thats been fine for me
Mullvad has a search engine??
Yea mullvad released a tor browser and search engine
Nice; I only knew about the browser! Thanks!!
Swisscows is a good and private search engine...if you have little childrens, because it's family save level Flanders, yes or yes. I use mainly Andisearch, Mojeek and Whoogle, sometimes also Perplexity. Apart also specific ones (Pixabay, Wikipedia, Wolphram Alpha, some forums, etc..)
https://andisearch.com/?query=%s (Default in the Adress Bar search)
https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=%s (Default in the Search Bar)
https://whoogle.io/search?q=%s (Alternative in the Search Bar)
https://www.perplexity.ai/?q=%s (Dito)
I'm confused on what you just said. Are you ok?
Confused about what? About my opinion on Swisscows, or about the suggest search engines i use? Swisscows is in strong familysafe settings, without options to change it, it respect privacy, but filter strict all NSFW content. The other are also privacy centred, most Andisearch, and way better for any researches. I also add them with the needed scripts, to make it easier to copy them in the browser search engine list and use them from the search bar, if someone want.
I'm still confused. Are you saying swiss cows is bad because it doesn't have nsfw content or are you saying its good for your family? I'm lost
why does it have to be good or bad? it's just a fact you have to put up with
