    searx and searxng are not search engines, and searx is more private (searxng collects info from users, which searx never wanted to). AFAIK duckduckgo is neither a search engine on its own, it uses blink...

    Why is Ecosia on the list?

    Quoting from tosdr.org:

    • This service can view your browser history
    • This service may collect, use, and share location data
    • This service allows tracking via third-party cookies for purposes including targeted advertising
    • This service tracks which web page referred you to it
    • Your personal data is given to third parties

    Doesn't look privacy-respecting.

    How can a privacy-focused search engine block Tor? You probably should remove those.

    I can't recommend a self hosted SearXNG instance enough.

    DDG uses Bing as a search backend last I checked, and the founder/CEO is spoke in favour of censoring search results that don't match with his worldview.
