Been using SearXNG for about a year now, and I just can’t deal with instances constantly getting blocked by search engines anymore. So I’d like to find something a bit more reliable. I’ve read that DuckDuckGo has had some controversies in the past, and I wouldn’t touch Brave with a 39 and a half foot pole.
In addition to the Microsoft trackers, I referenced this as well in another reply in this topic:

There are plenty of other sources that also reported on this.
