It's impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing
i remember i got a opera broswer recommended on bing when i was searching for zen which is a firefox fork

Can someone ELI5 how searx works and if it's worth the hassle of hosting? I'm privacy conscious but not paranoid.

Should've just asked your trusty copilot 🤖
If only they could make a functioning store. Laterally the only os now where you still have to go to a third party website for software.
Ugh. Do you really want that though? They do have a store don't they? Just no one wants to use it.
Debian has had a browseable catalog since forever but it's still waaay better to just go to a third party's website and see how they say to install whatever thing.

I mean... you went to Bing to search for a program. That's something that a new or inexperienced user would do, and Bing tried to help. It gave a direct link to the software (a link which I just tested to be working and safe on a virtual machine), it instructed how to do it using the official website, and then as a third option, it gave a link to the website.
I know that a lot of people will automatically assume a site like Softonic is loaded with malware (and I don't have the time to refute all of those claims) but the download they provided of the software was just a mirror of the official download and came with no added malware, spyware, or adware. Use at your own risk, but OP is pretty clearly fearmongering in an attempt to get people to give them internet points.

It’s amazing how bad that is.
Bing does not allow for exclusion of specific phrases by using hyphens and quotes. You can put them in your query, but they will be ignored.
Searching for: Topic -TopicSimilar

is it based on your searches or something? both in the browser with fingerprint protection where it thinks im from Usa and from the one where it detects my correct location the first result is from logi.com. I really hate bing, specially since they started pushing ai, but dunno, doesnt seem like the normal user experience what you are getting.
