    I’m sort of between search engines. I currently use SearXNG on my laptops and LibreX on my phone. These are metasearch engines, so they usually pull in more and better results than, say, Google alone. SearXNG is good because it’s very private (depending of course on who hosts it); while LibreX is nice because it’s simple, allows custom redirects for popular services (e.g. YouTube -> CloudTube), and it doesn’t use JavaScript.

    I think my crappy Android tablet uses Mojeek, but it’s been a while since I last used it. I’ve also recently tried out MetaGer (rejected because some features required payment), Qwant (rejected because Privacy Badger saw a fair number of trackers) and SwissCows (rejected because of constant internal server errors).

    The only thing missing from my current engines is filters for image search. Qwant and SwissCows let me specify the aspect ratio, vague size, colour, and license of the results. Mojeek, SearXNG and LibreX unfortunately do not offer this; which is why I’m between search engines at the minute.

    In short, I use SearXNG and LibreX.
