> SearX

it uses combination of search results from other public services. if you self-host, your instance helps make these services single out the searcher (if not used by lots of unrelated people).

did not go through the code but if you use a public instance, it might be possible to do similar level of logging at instance-level what we accuse the search giants for. might be through some opt-out debugging feature or what have you.

at the end you place trust on a third party directly or not.
