It's impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing
It’s gone really downhill ever since co-pilot
It’s hard to call it better than Google now

Wow reading through these comments makes me a little sad. Most people still don't know jack about search engines or how they differ under the hood, or eve just how to add them into your browser search bar. Looks like all the effort I put into that that simple search engine guide was in vain.
Thanks
Yacy seems to be what I want but I am worried about the content that would get indexed

I don't get malware and AI on firefox, but uBlock count's continually up. I know this behavior only from trash dump sites.
Isn't this the same as Google?
still looks better than the average Google search
SearXNG is also amazing. The only reason I don't use it more is because it doesn't have an integration into the URL bar in Firefox.
So, did it never occur to you that you can manually add custom search engine into Firefox?
Settings>search>manage alternate search engines>add search engine
It does, look it up in the addon marketplace- been working great for me
Dude. When you're looking at whatever search just right click in the url bar and there will be an option to add that search engine. Then in settings you can make it your default if you wish.
The reason I don't use SearXNG is because the public instances always seem to be slow and or broken.
Can't you add it manually?
Yes, but you may need to mess with about:config. I just added Jira as a search engine so I can type ticket numbers.
Softonic be like every app you want we have it, even the non exist ones. But once you installed our apps you already have made a pact with the devil
Does anyone know exactly what malware they are serving? I'm tempted to run it though virustotal.
It's not malware it's more adware. At least it used to be
At least what you are looking for, is on the first page. With Google you get half a page of ads not relevant to your search, and two pages of SEO garbage, before you get to a relevant search.
