Hi all, I’m the LibreWolf windows dev:)

This recent video seems mostly about not wanting to use ddg due to the current political climate…

    You have MetaGer as metasearch engine which can be configured to use its own crawler if self-hosting or InfinitySearch which has several versions and has its own crawler by default plus other indexes. Both FLOSS.

    The last one needs self-hosting or payment involved. There is other version which is decentralized too.

    About “product” in the sense you explain there, no. I stop reading when someone start using that for describing anything and is not in the sense of simple result of work but in the commercial sense as which inviting people to use something and earn audience (even if money is not involved directly).

    BTW, I was just showing jorgesumle their error in their assumption there.

      A selfhosted crawler is not for the mass and a meta search engine doesn’t scratch on google’s monopoly either. I haven’t heard of infinitysearch, I’ll klook into it, thx.

      It shouldn’t have been a comment/response to yours, sorry.
