Simplified Privacy is now running a free SearXNG Search Engine front end for your convenience:
This acts as an open source proxy for your searches to a mix of search engines to guarantee no logs or browser fingerprinting. If you forget the URL, it’s on the Resources tab on our website.
What does this have to do with Monero?
-
We have a big Monero icon on our main logo with lots of pro-friendly Monero content. As we expose different communities to this (Nostr, SimpleX, Session, forums), it promotes and solidifies Monero’s presence in the broader privacy community.
-
We’re literally hosting this on Kyun.host which is a Monero-only free-speech friendly VPS provider. If you need an XMR node, this is your spot!
If you want to find out about new free privacy resources we will be hosting in the future, follow us on Nostr: npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6

Cool! A new instance is always welcome due to rate control problems :)
For privacy reasons, it’s recommended to use random instances randomly:
This is a Javascript-less randomizing portal
http://7tcuoi57curagdk7nsvmzedcxgwlrq2d6jach4ksa3vj72uxrzadmqqd.onion/
And this is a list for normal users
https://searx.space/
Knowing a few unlisted instances can be a forte (less likely to be rate limited)
Another thing, less known but possibly interesting is https://4get.ca/ its image search may be powerful, though the site started to show an in-house captcha
https://metager.de (German) https://metager.org (English) -> One quick way to view Tor-blocking sites: ANONYM ÖFFNEN is handy for non-Tor users too, because it filters a lot of annoying things (unnecessary JS, Cookies). Onion available except this proxy is clearnet. It’s like ixquick from like 10 years ago (no more existing)
