Been using SearXNG for about a year now, and I just can’t deal with instances constantly getting blocked by search engines anymore. So I’d like to find something a bit more reliable. I’ve read that DuckDuckGo has had some controversies in the past, and I wouldn’t touch Brave with a 39 and a half foot pole.

You can use Farside with a Whoogle instance.

That way you don’t have to rely on a single instance.

How can I set this up on cromite?

I’ve added farside.link searx instance “main link” (https://farside.link/searx) to “homepage” but it gives me the same searx instance everytime
