     @vitali64sur I don't see how you would achieve that really, considering that silicon mining, doping and shaping techniques are proprietary and the lithography machines and techniques are proprietary - even the SoC design itself seems to be proprietary.
     
     Maybe the overall design is under an "open source" certified license, but that isn't buzzwordy enough.

     @mntmn Is that an OSHW silicon?

     @vitali64sur I don't use google.
     
     I'm deeply shocked you would nonchalantly recommend such proprietary software.
     
     You probably should have written something similar to; "Search for opensilicon".
     
     
     It was pointing out that it doesn't really make much sense to apply the "open source" development model to extremely proprietary hardware and "open source hardware designs" would be a less-oxymoronic term, but I prefer free hardware designs myself.

     @vitali64sur >I myself don't use google (I use LibreY and SearXNG)
     Great, please recommend the latter to people instead of the former.
     
     >OSHW == Free Hardware designs...
     From what I can find online, OSHW stands for "Open Source HardWare" and adding designs to it would be; OSHWD

     @vitali64sur >I recommend against using Google
     You say that, but you wrote specifically "Google for" instead of "Look it up".
     
     >doesn't necessarily mean "use google"
     What you wrote means exactly as you wrote.
     
     Everyone I've come across using such words have meant specifically "search with google" and that's what it means.
     
     I have removed such mistakes from my vocabulary myself.

     @Suiseiseki To be clear; I recommend against using Google...but seeing how I'm carefully trying to protect my privacy and how I recommend using free/libre software you should've known that "google it" in this context really means "look it up" and doesn't necessarily mean "use google"... by now you should've known that

     @jihadjimmy I'm aware, one problem is that duckduckglow likes to spy on the url's that you end up visiting unless you use a redirector extension to extract the ?uddg=https%3A%2F%2F part

     DDG offers two frontends that can run without javascript at all by the way, in case your SearX instance doesn't show quality results.

     @Suiseiseki
     
     I'm aware, but somehow I've noticed these redirections are removed on my desktop browser, so it must he one of my extensions removing these already.

     @jihadjimmy It seems to decide whether to include the redirections or not according to a certain random-looking heuristic, with redirects seemingly being disabled if it's possible to track you in some other way?
     
     Although, I always get redirects in the duckduckgo onion in Tor Browser.

     @jihadjimmy I don't believe the either browser or ublock origin handles it, as it they did, the redirects would always be replaced with the direct links.

     @Suiseiseki
     
     It will also not include these redirections if it's is set as the default search engine on the web browser, but I suspect this is something handled by either the privacy profile on the browser or UBlock Origin.
