A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Contrary to SearX/SearXNG, you can't select more than one source for your search results. I honestly don't see the point in this case. Just use DDG, unless you don't want to use Yandex/Marginalia/wiby directly? The other sources included are DDG, Brave and Mojeek, but those already respect your privacy.
No, Google's not in there, but then again so what? I've had to disable Google as a source for SearXNG because it was systematically returning garbage results.
With 4get you can set a different source for your web searches, pics and news results, however. That's a good feature.
