Anyone out there using Searx as your default search engine and if so what instance are you using and why did you choose it? I see 87 listed and looking to switch from DuckDuckGo to Searx... or StartPage or Quant.... and if you use one of those instead why?

I use DuckDuckGo for the moment but in principle I would like to switch to something that does its own indexing, I know mojeek.com/ is one such option, probably there are others.

I think both DuckDuckGo and StartPage rely on "the big ones" like Google to fetch the results from. So Google&co can decide to hide some things by simply removing those search results. In principle I would like to be able to search without any big tech company restricting what I can find.
