It is time to stop using DuckDuckGo. Sad. I really liked and used DDG for quite a few years.
I've been getting garbage results connected to my general location completely unrelated to what I was searching. That's been happening to me for the last couple months.
I tried Mojeek search, but found better results for the technical things I search for with search.brave.com
I was able to use your searx to find the answer to a proxmox question I was wondering about. Found a result of the first page that took me to what looks like the correct answer.
I should look into customizing searx. I am interested in curating tech blogs to search through. I won't do that soon, as I have some pressing projects to work on. Just writing about it to share my interest.
